In addition, local resources will be shared between Conbit and wider Mammoet teams within the regions to serve customer needs at a greater scale. John Halfweeg, Managing Director of Mammoet APAC remarked, “We are pleased to now have the services of Conbit as part of Mammoet’s offerings to customers. We look forward to providing customers with more comprehensive solutions now that we have Conbit and its expertise onboard with us. This is a great addition to Mammoet’s portfolio.”
