"We, as Ihimer, are very proud of our renewed sponsorship of Formoter at Saie, Bologna. The initiative we are going to take part in for the second year in a row, with some of our leading-edge machines, is extremely important. This is confirmed by the attention that Unacea and its associate members are devoting to the training and safety of earthmoving operators as key elements to promote the growth of the market."
(Igino Elefante - Sales & marketing director Ihimer S.p.a.)
"Komatsu has always given a central role to training at various levels: the training of its own staff, the training of external technicians, as well as the training of the sales network. This is why we welcomed the Formoter initiative, which we already sponsored last year with success: it enables us to offer high-quality and targeted training to clients from the building sector invited to take part in the Saie trade fair. Moreover, Formoter, whose aim is to promote a better knowledge and a more appropriate use of attachments for earthmoving machines, positively represents our vision: the client is the beginning and end of all our actions."
(Alessandro Rossi - marketing director Komatsu Italia Spa)
"Formoter is a great opportunity for operators to receive qualified training on the use of fixed and rotating telescopic handlers in the configurations commonly employed in building yards: forks, crane and aerial platform."
(Tiziano Guerzoni - Sales & marketing director Manitou Costruzioni Industriali srl)
