Thwaites has appointed New South Wales based AHS Group as their sole dumper distributor for Australia.
Founded in 1989, Australian Hammer Supplies has grown from a small family business into one of New South Wales’ largest and most trusted machinery dealerships. The company, now known as AHS Group, has expanded far beyond its original focus on hydraulic hammers, to become a leading provider across construction, agriculture and turf equipment.
Thwaites General Sales Manager Andy Sabin said, “This is a key appointment for Thwaites. The strategic siting of the six stateside locations across New South Wales, gives contractors and hirers great access to the quality range of Thwaites dumpers. In addition to an exceptional local experience from the first-class parts and service teams the AHS Group offers and delivers”.
The dealer footprint now stretches from the Mid North Coast to the Victorian border, and as far west as Parkes NSW.
AHS Group Managing Director Chris Pennells commented, “Our success has been built on one simple principle: do the job properly the first time. Customers across NSW rely on us for clear answers, quick decisions and a team that understands the true cost of downtime. From our technicians to our sales and parts staff, every branch operates with the same commitment to keeping their business moving”.
The Thwaites line up of compact, hi-tip, front tip and power swivel dumpers, all electric drive machines, ROPS+ and cabbed dumpers, will compliment the dealerships expanding capability, across both its construction and agriculture markets.
In addition, Thwaites will be in esteemed company as they join a product portfolio that represents many of the world’s most respected brands. With a line-up that includes Kubota, CASE Construction Equipment, Krone, Land Pride, Great Plains, Baroness and Toku hydraulic breakers.
Chris commented further “For construction, we supply everything from Kubota compact excavators and loaders through to CASE heavy equipment such as 49 tonne excavators, graders, rollers and wheel loaders. On the agricultural side, our lineup covers everything from broadacre and livestock tractors to professional turf and grounds care equipment, supported by Kubota and Baroness mowers and RTV utility vehicles”.
Thwaites Export Manager Dave Webster said, “We would like to place on record our thanks to Earthmoving Equipment Australia (EEA) who we send our best wishes to. We were delighted to meet with the AHS team when they visited the UK. The process to appoint has been both professional and enjoyable. I look forward to working with the sales, service and parts teams across NSW as we look to further drive, Thwaites dumper sales and customer satisfaction”.
In conclusion Chris commented. “We’ve built this business by showing up, keeping our word and backing our machines. That’s what earned our reputation and that’s what we’ll keep doing.”
