Sennebogen Adds to Distributor Network

Sennebogen, with North American headquarters in Charlotte, N.C., has added Victor L. Phillips Co., Kansas City, Mo., as its distributor in Kansas and Western Missouri.

Sennebogen has taken a careful approach to expanding its distribution base, according to the company. “Each addition must match up with our business model and deliver not only reliability but customer support as well,” Sennebogen North America President Constantino Lannes says.

Lannes found a match in Victor L. Phillips Co. “We are very pleased to have this organization join the Sennebogen team,” he says.

Butch Teppe, president of Victor L. Phillips Co., says, “We sold our first machine, an 825 M, to the Yaffee Co. in Wichita, Kan., and we are about to deliver our second one, an 835 M, to the Railroad Salvage Co. in Joplin, Mo. There is a pent-up demand for equipment of this nature, and we believe that we are in the market with the right machine at the right time.”

Teppe says that Railroad Salvage and Yaffee have been customers of the Victor L. Phillips Co. throughout the years, but that the Sennebogen line appealed to them because of the equipment’s “built-in” reliability. “In the scrap business, there is a great deal of uptime demand for this equipment,” he says. “Their contacts call for them to deliver a certain tonnage, and nothing less than what the contract calls for is acceptable. That is why the Sennebogen product line is so ideal. It’s simple and it’s reliable.”
