On January 5, 2024 we had the pleasure of welcoming the company MAES at RUTHMANN. Our guests were able to get an insight into our company in Gescher-Hochmoor.
In addition to the repair and maintenance of construction machinery, the Belgian company MAES runs a rental business for aerial work platforms and cranes since 1976. The extensive rental portfolio already includes 4 RUTHMANNSTEIGER®: T 540, T 570 HF-4A and T 750 HF. Since the presentation of our first 90-meter access platform at INTERMAT 2018, MAES also owns a RUTHMANNSTEIGER® T 900 HF. Soon, four more RUTHMANNSTEIGER® will be added to the rental range, including two more T 900 HF and two T 510 HF.
As appreciation for the longstanding cooperation, the entire company had the opportunity to take a look behind the scenes at RUTHMANN for one day. Regarding the question "Where do the machines come from? And who is RUTHMANN anyway?", the day began with a welcome from the management followed by a company presentation. During a tour of the grounds, our guests were guided through the production halls and the factory premises by Production Manager Olaf Dierks.
After a refreshment break at lunchtime, various training sessions followed, specially oriented to the different areas of work of the MAES employees. The service employees were able to learn more about services, such as maintenance of the access platforms, while the operators were trained specifically for their area of responsibility. While testing the machines, the Belgian customers were able to get to know other machines from the RUTHMANN product range and gain new impressions through good discussions.
The day ended at the Stephanus Brauhaus in Coesfeld with a delicious dinner. The employees of MAES and RUTHMANN were able to exchange thoughts and ideas in a relaxed atmosphere in order to strengthen the relationship for the future.
