Wolffkran Partners With Roots

Wolffkran is one of the world’s leading suppliers of tower cranes, and now with Roots Group as their exclusive partner, the supply of WOLFF cranes to the Arabian construction industry is excellent. The Roots Group is a highly respected and leading company involved in trading a comprehensive range of building materials, and industrial supplies, which also includes power tools. The Roots Group operates in Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Egypt, Lebanon, Syria, Malaysia and China.

The contract for the cooperation was signed on March 23rd, 2009. In the course of this exclusive partnership Roots Group is taking over sales, rental and full consultancy service for WOLFF cranes for Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, Syria and Egypt.

Beside this long term arrangement the Roots Group already purchased 33 units of the WOLFF 7532. The pack of red WOLFF cranes will be used for the construction of the Princess Noura University for Girls in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
“Our strong engagement over the last years in Arabia has paid off: We are proud to win Roots Group as business partner and we are looking forward to a successful and long lasting cooperation,” said Dietrich Sell, director of International Sales and Wolffkran representative for Saudi Arabia.

Wolffkran is one of the world’s big players in the field of high and efficient cranes for large building sites. The German crane manufacturer has cleverly designed all components to be compatible across their range, regardless of whether they are luffing or hammerhead type cranes. The increased freestanding heights of WOLFF cranes are a particularly relevant benefit for Arabian construction sides. “We believe that the quality and performance of these German engineered cranes will be found to be simply the best in the industry” said Marwan Ghalayini, division manager in Roots Group.
