Takeuchi's Managing Director, Geoff Vincent, said, "With over 30 years of hire and sales experience, and 10 depots across southern Britain , CBL are a progressive company ideally placed to supply Takeuchi's range." He added, "we reckon that CBL's strength across the south of Britain will help Takeuchi's sales. We have worked well with our former dealers in the south to establish strong support for Takeuchi products, and we are now ripe for further growth. In CBL, we have found a long term business partner to take forward an exceptional range."

The reputation of Takeuchi machines is second to none. The range of mini-excavators is built in Japan and has an excellent reputation for performance and durability. Not surprisingly, they have proved to be very popular in the U.K. with hirers and contract utility companies. The service record of Takeuchi machines across the plant hire industry is outstanding and all machines come with a 3 year warranty as standard. Takeuchi were the first manufacturer to offer this, highlighting the confidence in performance and service across the range.

In recent years an innovative range of 'Zero-Swing' excavators has joined the conventional minis, offering excellent performance in confined spaces.

Takeuchi was established in Japan in 1963 and their mini-excavators have been available in the UK since 1981. Takeuchi Mfg (UK) Ltd has been based at its current site in Rochdale since 1998. This was boosted by the opening of a southern distribution centre in Thatcham, Berkshire in 2002.
