Manufactured in India, the
machine is put together by an all women production line.
CASE Construction
Equipment, a CNH brand, has rolled out its Made-in-India Skid Steer Loader
(SSL) for the domestic market from its state-of-the-art facility in Pithampur,
Madhya Pradesh. The company announced the foray of its indigenously made SSL in
India during last edition of CII EXCON, extending its product range in the
country.
CASE India has handed over
the SSL – SR130B machine to the first Indian customer, Global Enterprises based
in Pune. This marks as a momentous occasion in CASE's journey to cater to the
evolving needs of the Indian construction industry.Â
On this occasion, Mr. Shalabh Chaturvedi, Managing Director,
CASE Construction Equipment - India and SAARC region, said, “We are
delighted to offer our made-in-Pithampur Skid Steer Loader for the Indian
market. Expanding our product portfolio is a step towards leveraging the
enormous prospects that the country presents to the CE industry with its
increased focus on infrastructural development. With our full range of
construction equipment, we hope to establish ourselves as a reliable partner on
the road to Viksit Bharat.”
Contrary to common
perception, company’s only plant in the country has a women-led production line
to manufacture the world class quality SSL, breaking gender stereotypes.
Handing over the machine, Mr. Satendra Tiwari, Executive Director-
Operations, stated, "We have been exporting world-class equipment from
our Pithampur facility to 105 countries, across several parts of the world in
addition to India. We are pleased to provide Indian customers with these
exceptional machines that boast cutting-edge technology and outstanding
performance. We hope to see more of these machines on Indian roads,
strengthening the nation's infrastructure.”

a 49hp, BS3 compliant model, powered with a globally renowned Perkins engine,
