The Case full product line fits perfectly with our future plans for machinery sales. Case have a very loyal following in Scotland and we are delighted to be taking that forward. Our aim is to look after existing customers and to build on the success of the Case brand.
‘We will support the product 100%, and take on all existing warranties. We have a solid base to work from and we are investing in the people and the facilities to build this business going forward.’
‘We are absolutely delighted to be working with this company,’ said Rick Morris, network development manager at Case Construction Equipment. ‘I am confident they will do a great job for Case over the coming years, supporting Case customers in all business sectors.’

Scotland is a very important industry area for Case, as a full-line construction equipment manufacturer. Hodge Plant will enable Case to grow and truly show the customers the excellent benefits of the products we have, fuel efficiency and product reliability in particular.
