ECEL will market and provide after sales, service & support through its extensive network of 104 offices across the country.

Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Kanwal Kishore Vij, CEO & Executive Director, Escorts Construction Equipment Limited said, "ECEL pioneered the Construction & Earth Moving Equipment industry in India and plans to further consolidate its leadership position in this segment of the industry. Given the planned growth and focus on the country's infrastructure and real estate projects, the arrangement with Manitou BF, XGMA and Zoomlion will provide a boost to ECEL's ongoing growth plans. The launch of these products is further expected to complement ECEL's existing range of material handling and earthmoving equipment solutions."

"By launching these world-class products in the domestic market, Escorts will be able to provide a one-stop solution to buyers," he further added.
