Case CEO sees rise in GCC interest

The firm intends to boost its sales and service support through its new website.

Case president and CEO Jim McCullough said Intermat has been a successful event for the company and that continuing the firm’s presence at the exhibition was the right move.

“We’ve had a respectable show and we’ve been busy all week. There has been plenty of activity,” he said.

McCullough said the firm’s distribution network responded well to the exhibition and added: “We’ve had an excellent turnout from our dealers and from the Middle East, in particular, as well as Eastern Europe and Northern Europe.”

The French market is highly important for Case, McCullough said. “Case has got a long history in France and at Intermat. For many years this has been one of my favourite shows.”
