Doosan Bobcat and Doosan Infracore have announced their intention
to transfer the Doosan Heavy business from Doosan Bobcat to Doosan
Infracore. Both parties are pursuing this transfer process, effective
1 January 2018, to allow each organisation to concentrate fully on
strengthening their core competencies.
Doosan Bobcat EMEA has in the past integrated the sales/distribution
businesses of its Compact and Heavy Construction Equipment under
a single umbrella in an attempt to maximise synergy effects across both
businesses. As a result, Doosan Bobcat EMEA has achieved a significant
improvement within the EMEA region.
As both the compact and heavy construction equipment industries
are growing quickly, Doosan Bobcat EMEA firmly believes that it can
further expand its market presence and share in the EMEA region
through this business transfer, fully focusing on its compact equipment
business in the region.
This decision will also enable Doosan Infracore to enhance the core
competencies of the Heavy business by leveraging its functional expertise
and taking full responsibility for the entire value chain from sales and
product development to production under a single global leadership.
“The main purpose of this change is to further strengthen our focus
on core businesses under a globally integrated management team, for
both Doosan Infracore and Doosan Bobcat,” commented Alvaro Pacini,
president of Doosan Bobcat EMEA.
“The Doosan Bobcat EMEA team will continue to give dedicated
focus and expertise on Bobcat products and support for dealers
