Chicago Pneumatic Raises Its Estonian Profile

Chicago Pneumatic — a manufacturer of construction equipment — has added two new dealers in the Eastern European nation of Estonia in order to expand its presence in the region.

Melker Baltik OÜ, which will distribute handheld compaction equipment and handheld hydraulic tools, and Alas Kuul AS, which has been appointed to handle sales of portable compressors and handheld pneumatic equipment, according to Ralf Majchrzak, Chicago Pneumatic’s business development manager for Scandinavia and the Baltics.

“With these strategic appointments, Chicago Pneumatic has further strengthened its burgeoning presence in Estonia and Eastern Europe as a whole,” Majchrzak told the materials handling website HUB. “Both (new distributors) have a real depth of experience and knowledge of working with construction companies in Estonia, which we fully expect will boost awareness and sales of Chicago Pneumatic’s durable and reliable construction equipment solutions in the country.”

In a related move, Chicago Pneumatic recently appointed Melker Baltik as an authorized distributor of its line of handheld compaction equipment and hydraulic tools. The company is a leading supplier of machinery and equipment to Estonia’s road construction and maintenance industries. The company, which is based in the Estonian city of Tallinin, also operates a fully equipped workshop and two mobile service vans.
