New beginnings in Croatia
Since 1 July, SMG Macchine d.o.o. is the new authorised dealer for Hitachi construction machinery customers in the southeast European country
Who is SMG Macchine?
The Sesvete-based company has ten years of machine sales and after-sales service experience in Croatia and has represented the reliable orange brand as a sub-dealer – on behalf of one of HCME’s Italian dealers, SCAI – since 2016.
Located on the outskirts of Zagreb, it serves a variety of industry solutions, including road and general construction, forestry, infrastructure, and agriculture. Its customer base also varies, from small family-run businesses to the country’s largest construction companies. It will provide the complete line-up of Hitachi construction machinery as well as the Hitachi Premium Rental offering.
A high level of service
“The most important thing for our customers is being supplied with a high-quality machine for the right price, and which is supported with a high level of service,” says Zeljko Vranjković, CEO of SMG Macchine. While its experienced sales and service teams are based in Zagreb, the company plans to open a new branch to serve the Adriatic coast in Croatia’s second largest city, Split.
“We look forward to working with Hitachi, a brand that stands for quality, reliability and durability,” adds Josip Bakula, Procurement Manager. “The development of our company is based on continuous improvement, with education and training provided by leading equipment manufacturers, and respect for the needs of our customers. By establishing strong professional relationships with our partners, we want to build trust for long-term cooperation and our mutual benefit.”
