A new trade agreement confirmed the good cooperation between “ELTRAK S.A.” and “Pavlidis Marble – Granite”. Specifically, the marble industry purchased a complete package of 20 Caterpillar marble quarrying machines.

This is a mega deal, as “Pavlidis S.A.” is the leading marble company in Greece and one of the largest worldwide, with a turnover of € 120 million only for 2018, 95% of which comes from export activities.

With over 500 production, sales and repair locations in over 180 countries worldwide, the Caterpillar Group recorded sales of $ 54.7 billion for 2018. In Greece, Caterpillar’s authorized representative is ELTRAK S.A., which is responsible for the sales and subsequent technical support of the entire range of Caterpillar products, such as earthmoving machines, generators, lift trucks and marine engines.

As for the mega deal between the two companies, the total of 20 machines includes:

– 352F ME / 349D2 ΜΕ Hydraulic Excavators with special equipment for marble blocks handling

– 988K Block Handler, 918M, 914K Loaders
