Wolverine Tractor and Equipment Co. Joins Sennebogen’s Distribution Line

Constantino Lannes, president of Sennebogen America, has announced that Michigan-based Wolverine Tractor and Equipment Co., has become the distributor of Sennebogen material handlers for all of the lower peninsula of Michigan. 

“We were initially drawn to Sennebogen by the machines’ quality, performance and specifications. They really outperform the competition,” says Wolverine principal Dave Sinay. “Now that we are a distributor, I can say without hesitation that Sennebogen machines are among the most reliable we have ever carried. It’s amazing how few warranty calls are required in such a harsh environment as a scrap yard.”

Since taking on the Sennebogen line in September 2007, Wolverine has sold more than 10 machines to customers in the scrap metal industry. Sinay says that Wolverine is currently exploring other applications for their Sennebogen machines.

“We know that Sennebogen is a proven machine in port applications, so we’re reaching out to those customers. Hardwood forestry is another important Michigan market where we expect to make inroads. And our scrap recycling customers are very interested in the Sennebogen 305 Multihandler,” Sinay says. 

All of Wolverine’s service staff have attended Sennebogen training sessions that the company brought to their Michigan locations. Company recommendations for stocking spare parts for their early sales of the line were something else Sinay found very helpful and very accurate.

“Wolverine Tractor and Equipment is committed to helping our customers choose the best equipment for their jobs and keeping that equipment productive. That commitment has taken a giant leap forward with our acquisition of the Sennebogen line,” Sinay says. “We are proud to part of the Sennebogen team.”
