Riding the momentum of the Las Vegas trade show, or perhaps eager for recognition in the high-end market, Chinese construction machinery companies have been focusing on the North American market recently. While measuring their products against North American quality standards, companies are also making it a priority to build comprehensive North American sales and service networks. Following the launch of new products in North America at the end of 2013, Shandong Lingong (SDLG) has taken another solid step in the development of the North American market: Flagler Construction Equipment, a long-established American construction machinery dealer based in Florida, has officially been incorporated into SDLG's North American sales network, and Flagler Construction Equipment held a grand celebration ceremony for the occasion.

　　More than 300 people attended the celebration, including Tampa Mayor Bob Buckhorn and other local government officials, as well as major local construction contractors and customer representatives. Alan Quinn, head of SDLG's North American market, said at the ceremony: "Flagler Construction Equipment joining SDLG will not only enable customers in the region to better understand SDLG products, but also provide them with more professional after-sales repair and training services." Alan Quinn expressed high hopes for the cooperation with Flagler Construction Equipment: "It would be hard for us to find a better dealer than Flagler Construction Equipment to distribute SDLG equipment. Flagler's employees know SDLG products' performance and structure inside out and can help potential customers decide whether the products meet their needs. For customers who choose SDLG products, Flagler Construction Equipment will continue to provide on-site guidance, top-quality parts, and high-quality, timely maintenance services. SDLG and Flagler Construction Equipment will be lifelong partners for customers' equipment."

　　Users in the Florida region generally use wheel loaders for agriculture, construction, or snow removal. SDLG's new products attract many North American customers with their more reliable quality, highly competitive prices, and extended warranty periods. It is understood that Flagler Construction Equipment has served the Florida region since 1987 and has now established branches in Jacksonville, Orlando, Tampa, Fort Lauderdale, and other locations. Flagler Construction Equipment is part of Flagler Corporation, which also includes machinery equipment companies in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and New York.

　　The joining of Flagler Construction Equipment will further improve SDLG's overseas dealer network and also provide SDLG with a platform to showcase its strengths in the North American high-end market. In the future, as SDLG continues to advance the internationalization of its marketing, more and more overseas customers will enjoy high-quality SDLG products and timely, comprehensive SDLG services.
