Finning to showcase power and technology at NEC event

Machine displays will form the centrepiece of the Finning UK & Ireland stand, ME-A270, offering visitors the chance to get up close to the features and benefits that make the Cat® 926 wheel loader and Cat® 265 compact track loader integral to the recycling and waste industry.

RWM Expo is the UK's premier event for recycling, resources and waste management, connecting international equipment suppliers, with a focus on technology and sustainability. Running from September 17 to 18 at the NEC in Birmingham, Finning will be showcasing the latest technology and organisational capabilities that continue to make it a specialist in the waste management sector.

Jonathan Davies, Industry Manager at Finning UK and Ireland said: “Industrial and waste management is one of the most demanding sectors that we work in, and it is essential that companies have access not only to powerful machines, but to comprehensive support that will help drive efficiencies, productivity and sustainable practices.

“Central to our stand at the RWM Expo will be two machines that are well known to the industry for their power, versatility and durability, and by allowing visitors the chance to get up close to the machines we hope to open discussions on how the technology and operational capabilities of our organisation can help maximise the machine’s potential.

“We are particularly looking forward to the opportunity to highlight our operational capability, with 600 technicians operating in the field to support customers and their machines as they continue to work in complex, and demanding applications. As part of this extensive support, we are also keen to emphasise our response, repair and rebuild capability, which promotes repairing before failure, and rebuilding machines and components to like-new condition through our Cat Certified Rebuild Program, supporting cost-efficiencies and a circular economy.

“Sustainability is a key focus of the RWM Expo, and our industry and product managers will be on hand to discuss the ways in which Finning can help customers lower their environmental impact through technology and remanufacturing, as well as tools such as the Cat Inspect app, which allows owners to access service documentation, view parts and 3D models, and assign, complete and review inspections to enhance productivity and reduce idle time.”

Finning product managers and industry specialists will be on hand throughout the event to showcase how technological advancements such as e-fence solutions, Cat Payload and Cat Certified Training can benefit the resource and waste management sector, and how they provide an added layer of support to owners and operators looking to enhance the capabilities of their fleet, whilst remaining cost efficient. In addition to members of the Finning team, representatives from Caterpillar will be in attendance at RWM Expo to discuss the machines, centenary year and finance options.

Throughout the RWM Expo, Finning will be celebrating the cutting-edge innovation and historic achievements of Caterpillar as it continues to mark its centenary year.As part of this celebration, visitors to the show will be able to join the celebration by entering the Finning ‘Win Big’ giveaway - aimed at giving more people the chance to benefit from the Finning combination of technology and expertise.

Jonathan said: “It is a very special year for Caterpillar, and at Finning we are excited to share our passion for the power and innovation that have made Cat machines so impactful over the past 100 years. As part of this, we hope to talk to customers old and new about the chance of winning a machine or generator, but also about the accessibility of owning Caterpillar equipment, not just for large companies, but smaller businesses as well – hoping to prove there is a Cat machine out there for everyone.”
