Avant Tecno Italia becomes Leguan Lifts distributor

Spider lift manufacturer, Leguan Lifts from Finland, has signed a new distributor agreement with Avant Tecno Italia srl. The latter will take charge of sales and aftersales in Italy.

Hugues Lambert, export sales manager of Leguan Lifts said, “Since Avant Tecno Italia has been selling for close to three decades the Avant product range in Italy, it is a natural move for Leguan to start collaborating with Emo Colopristi and his team. It is now a perfect opportunity to set foot in the Italian Peninsula and develop together awareness of Leguan as a brand and introduce a very different type of spider lifts that operators are used to in the tree care and building construction and renovation industry.”

Leguan spider lifts are designed with user-friendly features, an intuitive operator interface and all-terrain abilities. Leguan says that the combination of easy handling, smart technologies, high performance and reliability is very attractive to the Italian market, especially for outdoor jobs. The new generation of Leguan machines with offer notable off-road features.

Avant Tecno Italia will bring a fresh boost to the distribution of Leguan Lifts products in its territory. The company is excited to add the new brand to its product portfolio and see great future potential for Leguan access platforms in Italy.

Emo Colopristi, CEO of Avant Tecno Italia said, “Avant Italia is honoured to represent the Leguan brand and will try to make it grow as it has done for the Avant brand in recent years.”

Sizable product development investment that Leguan made to develop new generation spider lifts has helped the manufacturer to start growing its market share at an international level. Together with strong focus on strengthening its sales and distribution channels, Leguan Lifts has been experiencing unprecedented sales growth.

In 2020, Leguan Lifts started expansion plans to its manufacturing capacity to match ever-growing sales demand. The company recognised a fast-growing demand for spider lifts designed especially for all-terrain work and challenging job sites that many existing lifts could not accommodate.

Jori Mylläri, VP of sales and marketing at Leguan Lifts said, “Our customers are looking for solutions that allow them to work both efficiently and safely on aerial worksites related to applications such as  tree care, renovation, installation work, and construction. Leguan spider lifts with the market’s fastest set-up times and best gradeability provide a more efficient solution compared to many traditional ways of doing work at height.”
