Access from everything from machine alerts to fuel reports and history information, is stored at a secure centre. Servicing and customer support Discussing service, Senyard says this is ensured through the company’s extensive South African footprint, including its national office based in Gauteng, and regional offices situated in Johannesburg, Pretoria, Middelburg, Durban, Richards Bay, Bloemfontein, Mthatha, Cape Town, East London, Port Elizabeth and George. To guarantee seamless operations throughout Southern Africa, Kemach JCB’s network of distributors and service dealers are also strategically positioned in Windhoek, Nelspruit, Swaziland, Polokwane, Upington, Schweizer Reneke, and Vryheid. “We get good support from JCB itself with a local team based here to support us. We have direct contract with our factories so there is support from the OEM itself,” Senyard confirms. “I must say that I have visited the factories in the UK and in India, and have been blown away by the high-tech facilities. Whether in India or anywhere in the world for that matter, it is the same level of professionalism throughout. “Our customers are seeing the value in the product, they are seeing the value in resale and it is our customers who are putting us ahead of everybody else,” Senyard says, adding that the involvement of senior management is tremendous. “Our CEO Les Lothian is often at events and product launches, locally and internationally, and is very involved in meetings and discussions with our customers. From a customer point of view this is invaluable.” In conclusion, Senyard says that although the company doesn’t have mining equipment as such, there is a lot of support equipment that goes into the mines. “The JS305 machines are ideal for the quarrying environment, “typically for aggregates loading, stockpiling, feeding of crushers and screens, etc. I see a great opportunity in construction and quarrying with these products.” The company offers the best in earthmoving equipment, ranging from the backhoe loaders to skid steers, wheel loaders, excavators, telescopic handlers, rough terrain forklifts, and compaction equipment. In addition to the equipment itself, Kemach JCB distributes the full range of JCB parts, while skilled field service technicians and expert product support engineers ensure that assistance is available at all times on a 24/7 basis.
