TEREX Construction has appointed Medco (Middle East Development Company) as the distributor for its construction product line throughout Saudi Arabia. The agreement will enable Medco to supply Terex backhoe loaders, wheel loaders and site dumpers in the kingdom.

The Terex Construction segment offers a wide range of products from 100-tonne rigid dump trucks to 1.5-tonne mini-excavators. Medco will now be responsible for the distribution of Terex products as well as providing servicing and spare parts for these machines across the country.

Terex Construction sales and marketing director for developing markets John Rotherford said: “We are delighted to appoint Medco as our distributor for construction products in Saudi Arabia as they are fully committed to promoting our quality construction equipment.”

A key product in the Terex Construction compact line is undoubtedly the backhoe loader which is manufactured in Coventry, England. With more than 50 years of heritage, Terex backhoe loaders are designed with outstanding reliability and with a host of attachments available; they are excellent performers in every application, especially in Saudi Arabia.
Medco is a leading dealer of premium industrial and construction equipment in Saudi Arabia. The company, founded in 1967 by Sheikh Saleh and Ibrahim Alfadl, is a 100-per-cent Saudi Arabian-owned business.

The company focuses on delivering the utmost value to customers through efficient delivery of equipment, support services and spare parts.

Operating from purpose-built facilities in the eastern, central, western and southern provinces, Medco employs more than 150 people from across diversified cultures.

The company operates well equipped, diagnostic and repair facilities that are complemented with manufacturer-trained product support personnel. Its head office is based in Jeddah together with the western region branch, and in 2010 it moved to a new state-of-the-art facility located off the Makkah-Madinah highway. The new facility has significantly increased the capacity of the service and repair facilities, adding value to the needs of customers.
