GEHL, a brand with a heritage dating back to 1859 and known for its compact machinery including telehandlers, backhoes, skid steers, and track loaders, has officially launched in the UAE. German Gulf Enterprises is now the exclusive dealer for GEHL in the region.
The partnership was celebrated at a recent launch event where German Gulf Enterprises introduced two new models of skid steer loaders, R164 and R180, to the MENA region. The event was attended by Ayman Ahmed, CEO of Bukhtir Industrial, Ahmad Swaid, Deputy General Manager of German Gulf Enterprises, GEHL’s Managing Director ME Benoit Renard, and Jérémie Calteau, Sales Manager at MANITOU MIDDLE EAST FZE.
