Jost claims Singapore victory
11 May 2007The Malaysia-based dealer for tower crane manufacturer Jost, Jost Maschinenbau Sdn Bhd, which trades as Jost Cranes Asia, has sold its first Jost topless luffing-jib tower crane in Singapore. The crane is the 120tm-class JTL 108.6. Owner Franc Jost told Cranes Today that the deal was significant because the Singapore market is conservative, and will not consider a crane unless it can see it on site in Singapore.

“We have increased so fast, it is not easy to coordinate the whole world,” Jost said. The company has apportioned different markets to exclusive dealers, including Devia GMBH for Russia and ex-CIS members; BIT Logistic and Transportation for the Middle East; MTI-Lux for selling in the UK, Korea, Scandinavia and Baltics. The company will continue to sell directly to some European countries, including Germany, Jost said.
