SDLG celebrates 1,000th wheel loader sale in Indonesia

SDLG has seen three consecutive years of growth in wheel loader sales in Indonesia and is expecting another strong year ahead. Between 2014 and 2017, SDLG wheel loader sales rose 40 per cent in Indonesia. The company was also the market leader for wheel loader sales for this period.

On the back of this growth, the company recently sold its 1,000th wheel loader in the country, an achievement that was celebrated at an event attended by the customer PT Bumi Mentari Karya, local dealers PT Indotruck Utama and PT Intraco Penta Prima Servis, and SDLG senior executives.

?We?re happy to be a part of SDLG?s milestone. The company?s wheel loaders are cost-effective yet reliable and have performed well for us, which is why we make return purchases,? said Wiby Swanto, Senior Manager of PT Bumi Mentari Karya. ?For SDLG to sell 1,000 wheel loaders in Indonesia over a short period of time just goes to show the confidence that we and, I?m sure, other customers have in these machines.?

At the celebrations, Victor Zhao, vice general manager of SDLG Import and Export, delivered the LG936L to Swanto. PT Bumi Mentari Karya will be using the unit at a palm oil mill in Pekanbaru, Riau. During the celebrations, SDLG also launched the RD730 road roller in Indonesia.

The new LG936L will join PT Bumi Mentari Karya?s fleet of 19 SDLG wheel loaders, which includes 13 LG936L units and six LG938L units.
