Sunward scores a hat-trick with LC International
Kent company LC International becomes the region's new dealer for Sunward.
Mechanical engineers LC International (formerly Langham Contracting) are celebrating becoming a new Sunward dealer for a hat-trick of reasons - variety of products, warranties and support, and value for money.
The Rochester-based company, that has a fleet of CODED welders, mechanical engineers and HGVs as well as the largest UK hire fleet of Arjes 250 Impaktor shredders, will look after Kent, south-east London, south Essex, some of Surrey, and Sussex.
Director Ellie Ricketts said: "We met Sunward at Plantworx and were impressed with the machines. We realised there was a really good synergy between us and Sunward and thought this is a product our company and brand could really get behind.
"We love the fact that Sunward have a variety of products to offer and are able to offer such a brilliant warranty and support package. We also think the value for money is amazing in comparison to other leading brands and that this unsung hero needs some spotlight in the UK market."
She added: "We have a strong foothold in the recycling sector and already manage the maintenance of many companies' mobile plant (excavators, telehandlers, forklifts etc). We come across equipment daily and our engineers have a good understanding of how to work, maintain and best use plant to get the most out of the purchase - a digger isn't just for digging holes!"

Note to editors:
With more than 400 engineers working in R&D, the Sunward group has a peerless technical DNA. One of its early successes was developing an electric excavator in the early 2000s, making it one of the pioneers in this field.
A network of more than 140 dealers now covers all of Europe, including 11 in the UK and Ireland. To support this growth, Sunward Europe has invested in new premises in Tessenderlo, Belgium, from where it provides technical and logistical support for this dealer network, with more than 95% availability of spare parts.
As well as spare part storage, the 25,000m2site has a large stock of machines, a demonstration area, a technical training centre, and a vast workshop for customising machines to meet the needs of the individual European markets.
