Express Trailers diversifies into manufacturing
Express Trailers has just been appointed as Hammar’s European base for the rebuilding, upgrading and customisation of Hammar side-loaders for the global market.
Hammar Maskin AB, a Swedish company, is considered to be the world’s largest manufacturer of side-loaders with 80 per cent market share worldwide.
Side-loaders enable transport companies to load and unload containers onto trailer trucks without the use of cranes.
Express Trailers’ relationship with Hammar Maskin AB goes back 30 years. In 1985 Express Trailers ordered its first side-loader for its local operations. Since then, Noel Vella, one of the third generation family directors, has been regularly contracted by Hammar to conduct modification and servicing works to existent side-loaders for Maltese clients and for re-export. Mr Vella is also responsible for the maintenance of all Express Trailers’ fleet of trailers and trucks.
“This new development is a big milestone for our company. This new venture by Express Trailers will also entail internal restructuring of our operations, of our facilities and certainly more employment opportunities for skilled tradesmen,” said Franco Azzopardi, chairman and CEO of Express Group.
Express Trailers’ new manufacturing arm will be working on side-loaders sent to Malta by Hammar using its logistics experience and wide transport network to deliver the rebuilt units to the client, anywhere in the world.
