MYCRANE, the prominent online crane rental platform, has strengthened its footprint in the Middle East by initiating its operations in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
This strategic move comes on the heels of MYCRANE’s successful Series A funding round, which secured a substantial investment to support the platform’s global expansion plans.
The launch of MYCRANE’s Saudi Arabia operations was announced at the esteemed oil and gas exhibition, ADIPEC. This expansion aligns with MYCRANE’s continuous growth strategy as a technology platform based in Dubai, catering to a diverse array of industries and sectors seeking efficient and swift crane rental solutions, with a capacity of up to 750 tonnes.
Andrei Geikalo, Founder and CEO of MYCRANE, highlighted the significance of this expansion into Saudi Arabia, stating, “Saudi Arabia’s 2030 vision and diversification strategy will be a boost to so many different sectors, so our launch in Saudi Arabia was a natural step. We see no shortage of opportunities, particularly as Saudi Arabia has already committed to almost $1 trillion worth of construction and infrastructure projects, and announced plans to become a global logistics hub.”
The responsibility for MYCRANE’s Saudi Arabia operations falls under the capable leadership of Piet Kraaijeveld, the company’s Chief Operating Officer. Kraaijeveld brings a wealth of experience in the Gulf region, having worked in the United Arab Emirates for several years, including roles at Mammoet as Sales Manager for the Middle East and Africa, and as a Strategic Account Manager for Ritchie Bros., the world’s largest industrial auctioneer.
Kraaijeveld’s initial focus will revolve around onboarding customers onto the MYCRANE platform, facilitating collaborations between Saudi asset owners and MYCRANE for crane registration, and overseeing the recruitment of a network of sales executives across the Kingdom.
“The future success of the construction industry depends on its ability to adapt and leverage the latest technology, which is where MYCRANE has a valuable role to play,” remarked Kraaijeveld. “My career experience puts me in good stead to support our clients as we continue our expansion in the Middle East and beyond.”
Currently based in Dubai, MYCRANE boasts a robust presence with over 3,000 registered customers and access to a vast inventory of more than 15,000 cranes available for hire on its user-friendly platform.
