Caterpillar Inc., Peoria, Illinois, and Lefort North America LLC, West Palm Beach, Florida, have entered into an exclusive marketing agreement for supply of Lefort hydraulic shears and balers commonly used in scrap metal recycling. Lefort North America is a distributor for shear and baler manufacturer Lefort, based in Belgium.
The Lefort products, available in stationary and portable versions, will be sold exclusively by Cat dealers in the United States and Canada.
The companies say the vision for this agreement is to combine the strength of Caterpillar’s distribution network with Lefort’s innovative design and precision engineered products.
“We are pleased to be working with Lefort to meet customers’ portable and stationary shear and baler needs,” says Denise Johnson, vice president of material handling and underground division, Caterpillar. “Bringing together Lefort’s high-quality products and our unmatched dealer network creates a partnership that will serve customers well.”
Founded in 1947, Lefort says it manufactures machines in the company’s Belgium factories using state-of-the-art engineering and design methods. Lefort’s North American headquarters is located in West Palm Beach, Florida. This company’s North American headquarters also serves as the parts distribution center for the U.S. and Canada.
“The partnership between Lefort and Caterpillar reinforces our dedication to the United States and Canadian scrap recycling and demolition markets,” says Yves Lambert, president of Lefort North America. “It’s one thing to offer an industry leading product, but offering reliable, unrivaled support is also imperative. Our partnership with Caterpillar will give customers that added assurance.”
