Tractors Malaysia Expands Operations in the Southern Region

Tractors Malaysia, the country's leading distributor of premium heavy equipment, is expanding its operations in the southern region of Malaysia by upgrading its Kluang Branch in Johor.

The Kluang Branch, which was formerly a depot with 6,000 square feet of land area, has been expanded by about 400 percent to 25,800 square feet. This will enable the company to introduce its latest range of heavy equipment and expertise, especially for the oil palm industry.

Managing Director of Sime Darby Industrial Sdn Bhd, Mr Chong Kwea Seng, said the upgraded Kluang Branch now carries a comprehensive parts inventory for Caterpillar machines, allied machines and lift trucks. It will also stock a wide range of Caterpillar machines and allied equipment, including wheel loaders, hydraulic excavators, backhoe loaders and lift trucks.

A historical moment. Tractors Malaysia's new Kluang Branch is opened with the signing of a plaque by the Managing Director of Tractors Malaysia, Mr. Chong Kwea Seng, and Caterpillar's Asia Region Manager Mr. Walt Bradbury

"We recognize the business potential and your growing needs here. We aim to have, at your disposal, a comprehensive range of products and services that your respective businesses may require in this territory," he told about 300 guests and partners at the opening of the upgraded Kluang branch on June 23, 2009. Also present was the Asia Region Manager of Caterpillar Asia Pte Ltd., Mr Walt Bradbury.

Mr. Chong said Caterpillar equipment can be used to help raise productivity levels in plantations as it can assist oil palm estates in land clearing, harvesting and fresh fruit bunch (FFB) collection.Hydraulic excavators, for example, will help improve the performance of replanting work, while wheel loaders can help with speedy loading and unloading of FFB. Backhoe loaders and compact skid steers, on the other hand, can double up as utility vehicles.

Mr Chong, in his speech, thanked Malaysian Mosaics Berhad for placing a new order of 100 units of Cat Rental Lift Trucks through the Kluang Branch. This purchase, he noted, was a strong indication of customers' confidence in Tractors Malaysia's products and services, and a big boost for the branch. Mr Chong later presented a token of appreciation to Malaysian Mosaics Berhad Chief Financial Officer, Mr Keith Gardner.

Tractors Malaysia Kluang Branch is strategically located on the main road, off Jalan Mersing, in Johor. It will continue to service its clients in Kluang, Kahang, Segamat, Tangkak, Yong Peng, Batu Pahat, Machap and Muar.
