On the New Holland W270 loader, Gerhard Shaub, HKL Baumaschinen Spain Manager, ensures that this new model: "Supposes an important extension that we offer a machine much larger with more suction application, but also for industrial use." With this new model we can enter another segment of customers that already existed and that really posed a specific demand. Now, with the loader W270, we can meet this need to 100 per cent. "In fact is the largest loader that we have with the brand New Holland and is a specific machine with great performance and great power." Smopyc 2008 has been the site chosen by HKL to present for the first time in Spain the New Holland W270 loader, although the multinational already had tried earlier in Germany as said it Gerhard Schaub: "We have already worked with this machine"We know of Germany where we did a test for several months. The machine itself is well known in the Spanish territory but that is from Smopyc when you go to massively introduce in all delegations. As regards the hydraulic excavator of chains New Holland of 40 tons, the E385B model offers another aspect of performance of machines up to 30-33 tonnes and opens another segment of customers.

"It is a machine which was in phase of adoption and that, like the loader that we talked about earlier, we know it by its operation in Germany." The rotating chain excavator is a machine that fits very well here in Spain. "Once introduced this segment of machines, we can probe the possibility of bringing more tons machines to be placed on the market," said Gerhard Schaub.

HKL Baumaschinen Spain ahead in Smopyc 2008 that since May the German multinational will open a new Office in Valladolid. This action involves a significant investment, both capital and human resources specialized in the operation and maintenance of all the supply of machinery that currently sells HKL. Gerhard Schaub explained that one of the main reasons why HKL has decided to open a new Office in Valladolid is due to the existence of machinery of Helsinki City transport in the community of Castilla y León: "In this territory have noticed that there is a very developed, with much need market especially in earth-moving machines"that is why the need to be in Valladolid was total. "There were other openings which were priority but finally we had in mind the need of the market and from this month of may will be operating in Valladolid, even as we are taking the first orders and contacts".

According to HKL Spain Manager, the new Valladolid Headquarters "has a very positive journey" and believes that "Although initially you can work without being present in a community in which our machines already were and where they could organize the service"", but gives much advantage having this new delegation in Valladolid. Also, Gerhard Schaub said that HKL Baumaschinen is already working on another opening that probably opens next month of September.

The inauguration of the new seat of Valladolid will complete competitively this distribution network which currently work more than 100 employees, between technical and administrative staff.

Gerhard Schaub welcomed the good reception from visitors and professionals who Smopyc has had this year. For the Manager of HKL fairs are a very important meeting point, a place to change views and receive information, a place where formalize and clarify issues and engage in direct exchanges a bit. "I think that with all the pros and cons fairs are a very efficient point where in just a few days we have the possibility of exchanging views and even generate much business." Now in Helsinki City transport we have a small change in the economic process and I think it is very important to exchange views with our clients to then work with the information we collected during the celebration of the fair. "Therefore I see fairs as a valid tool in all aspects", said Schaub.
