Sandvik will rename Allied Construction Products as Sandvik, says its new managing director, Jonas Lindqvist, rebranding to Sandvik Rock Processing Solutions North America and marketing all products under the Rammer brand name.
“We are going to continue to do right what Allied has done right for many years,” Lindqvist said in a prepared statement. “That includes striving towards providing impeccable service to our dealers and customers and continuing to examine current and better ways to produce, deliver and support our quality products.
“It’s in the Sandvik DNA to be in the forefront of technology development, deliver top quality products and support, and constantly improve on them,” he said. “We are going to invest Sandvik technological expertise and other resources to grow this company and become the leading attachment tools supplier in North America.”
Sandvik already owned 21 percent of Allied, the North American distributor for Sandvik’s Rammer hydraulic breakers, before the acquisition was completed Oct. 1, 2020. It will eventually relocate from its downtown Cleveland, Ohio, location to a facility in the same region that will provide more space for warehousing, service and manufacturing, according to Jonas.
“We’re not planning any changes internally, but as we grow, we will be adding employees to maintain efficiencies in our operations and manufacturing,” he said. “The Cleveland-based operation will support all of North America, including both Allied and Sandvik customers. We are 100 percent committed to the North American market and believe that investing in a strong local presence within all aspects of the business is key to success.”
The company will expand its Rammer product lines later this year, he said, to include attachments beyond the current offerings of breakers and compactors.
Scott Scholz, a district manager in the Northeastern United States and Eastern Canada said in a statement:
“Our distributors and rental companies look forward to the future because they know Sandvik is taking all the positive things we do, and they are supporting us and enabling us to grow.”
