Successful Bobcat Expansion in MEA Backhoe Loader Market

Bobcat has long been acknowledged as the market leader in skid-steer loaders in MEA. In answer to customer requests, the company entered the backhoe loader market four years ago and quickly gained market share throughout the region, with the first generation of Bobcat machines achieving top 3 positions in many countries in MEA.

Gaby Rhayem, Regional Director Middle East and Africa at Doosan Bobcat EMEA, said: “Backed by our No. 1 position in loaders and our fantastic Bobcat dealer network coverage for MEA, our first generation backhoe loader range has been very successful - I can proudly say that every second sold machine in the MEA region in our category is now Bobcat-branded, which is an incredible achievement. We also had a very good first half of 2020, despite the market challenges brought by Covid-19.

“At Bobcat, we are dedicated to providing our customers with the performance and innovation they need. Our new generation R-series B730 backhoe loader meets all these goals and will allow us to gain market share and further improve our position throughout the region.”
