Italian power
product brand
gets better SA
representation
K
LB Engineering of
Nooitgedacht on the
West Rand, which
markets the Red Rhino
brand of hobby and light
commercial chainsaws,
brushcutters and the like, has
expanded into the profes-
sional market following its
appointment as the southern
African agent for Oleo-Mac
machines.
Launched in 1972, Oleo-
Mac is an Italian manufac-
turer of more than 3 000
product lines, now owned
by the Emak Group, which
also has the Efco brand
under its umbrella.
KLB Engineering's launch
offering for its first summer
season includes a range of
chainsaws, brushcutters,
backpack blowers and push
mowers. KLB has already
established a significant
coverage of southern Africa
with multiple dealers and a
Oleo-Mac product line-up in SA

nationwide network for the
product.
The range was unveiled to
dealers at a product launch
held last month.
Oleo-Mac machines are
renowned worldwide for
their robustness and quality,
and are leaders in many
markets in the professional
field.
Yet, says KLB Engineering, in
South Africa they compete
very favourably on price with
similarly-sized machines
from the traditional “pre-
mium” brands. For example,
an Oleo-Mac 35cc backpack
blower will retail in South
Africa this season for around
half the price of a competi-
tive 25cc machine from one
of the premium brands.
