On the 5th of October 2023, representatives from Arabian Consolidated Training (ACT) Crane & Heavy Equipment in Saudi Arabia together with MG Saudi exclusive dealer “Saleh & Abdulaziz Abahsain Co” toured the Shido Plant and the Kozai Plant, where MG also has its corporate headquarters.

“We were impressed with the well-organized production line and clean factory,” noted Mr. Al-Naimi.

While in Takamatsu, ACT & Abahsain representatives reconnected with top management including Chairman of the board Mr. Koichi MG, with whom they have a longstanding relationship.

They also met with President & CEO Mr. Toshiaki Ujiie, Global Officer Mr. Hiroyuki Goda, Unit Manager Mr. Masanori Oshima and Assistant Manager Mr. Yudai Masuda from Research and Development in the Lifting Equipment Development Department to nurture the relationship with MG well into the future.

Regarding the sales process for the fourteen GR-800EX cranes, Mr. Al-Naimi touted the “fast and professional support” of the delivery from MG’s Saudi Arabian distributor, Saleh & Abdulaziz Abahsain Company Limited, and MG Middle East L.L.C (TME).

“Our past experience with MG products has been excellent,” he added, noting the on-time delivery, efficient & prompt aftersales support by Abahsain, clear communication during the process, and thorough training. “Abahsain and TME are always very supportive; we have a long relationship.”

Following the MG factory visit, ACT expressed recognition of the company’s commitment to producing high quality products. “Competition is getting severe,” Mr. Al-Naimi noted, “Quality and reliability is a must, and those are the two primary features we see in MG cranes. It will be necessary to continue high quality with reliability and with advanced innovations, like electrification, for the future.”

Feedback from these customers, including during meetings with R&D staff and management at plants and the company headquarters, helps ensure MG cranes maximize safety and efficiency at the job site.

Mr. Hassan Mohammed Al-Naimi from ACT states, “We never compromise with our vision, mission, and some values on which we rely. The appreciation from the existing customers is the best reward we can get and the best asset for future growth.” The ongoing relationship between MG, ACT and Abahsain exemplifies how these values are shared by these companies.
