Manitowoc, a global leader in crane manufacturing, has announced the appointment of E-Buildway as its official Potain dealer in Georgia.
This appointment represents a significant milestone in the construction equipment industry of the region and solidifies a burgeoning relationship between Manitowoc and E-Buildway.
E-Buildway, a well-established name in Georgia’s construction equipment market, has been instrumental in promoting the Potain brand in the region.
The company has successfully sold eight used Potain MC 120 cranes within Georgia, catering to prominent contractors such as New Group, Tbilisi House, and Green House. This achievement underscores the growing preference for Potain cranes in the Georgian construction sector.
Nino Giorgadze, co-founder of E-Buildway, emphasized the importance of matching the right crane to the specific needs of a project. “Our engineers work closely with customers to identify the most suitable crane for their projects. Potain is a brand synonymous with quality and reliability, which is why it’s increasingly becoming the preferred choice for contractors, even over new cranes from other suppliers,” Giorgadze said.
The decision to appoint E-Buildway as a Potain dealer is a testament to the performance of used Potain cranes and their growing popularity in the region. It reflects a strategic move by Manitowoc to strengthen its foothold in Central Asia, a region with burgeoning construction activities and a rising demand for reliable and efficient construction equipment.
Meanwhile real estate developer Filli Partner has purchased a used Potain MD 305 B for work on its City Plaza development in Moldova, a residential project under construction in central Ungheni. Building work is set to last two years, with the project’s opening scheduled for the first quarter of 2025.The Potain MD 305 B has a maximum capacity of 12 t, with up to 70 m of jib available, and the ability to lift 3.2 t at its jib end. On the City Plaza job, the crane is working with its full 70 m jib, allowing it to cover the entire jobsite. The crane was purchased through Manitowoc’s regional Used Cranes sales team.“We’re extremely impressed by the efficiency and capabilities of the Potain MD 305 B and are confident with our choice. Selecting this model eliminated the need for two cranes, delivering significant efficiency to our project. The Potain Used Cranes sales team was easy to do business with and we’d certainly look at future collaborations,” said Iurie Gisca, founder and administrator of Filli Partner.
Used cranes from Potain provide a high-quality option at a lower cost and customers get peace of mind knowing Manitowoc’s industry-leading support network will be standing behind their purchase. Customers receive many of the same benefits that come with purchasing a new crane, and delivery times can often be as little as a few weeks.Once complete, the City Plaza project will cover 34,000 sq. m, with 24,000 sq. m of residential space dedicated to 234 homes. There’s an additional 9,500 sq. m for commercial space, with the 10-story building eventually standing 32 m above ground.“Used Potain cranes are a wise investment for customers in Moldova, giving them reliability, cost-effectiveness, and proven performance for large-scale construction projects. Our customers choose used Potain cranes for their fast delivery, renowned quality, and our aftersales support, all of which give them peace of mind
