Massachs excavations relies on Cibsa to purchase a Hitachi high-end wheel loader

Since a few weeks ago, the quarry at Massachs excavations near Santa Cristina d'Aro (Girona), account with a new addition. It's the loader wheeled ZW310 of the Hitachi brand, acquired by the Girona signing to commercial Industrial Barcelona (Cibsa), company dedicated to the purchase, sale, rental and repair of machinery with over 30 years of history behind them.
The machine performs tasks of food already in the quarry of the company and is specially designed for the plant of sands in Girona. Josep Massachs, responsible of the Girona firm, explains that they decided to Hitachi ZW310 model because it is a very balanced, with a system that allows you to work at a very low revolutions per minute and has a low consumption. It also emphasizes by its maximum load of the rollover test. The machine does not give impression that is at the limit, something that makes your driving by professionals who use it in the quarry.

Prior to this acquisition, Massachs excavations has purchased to Cibsa various types of machines that include different models of concrete mixers, compaction, two mixed teams and five rotating, that coupled with making a total of 20 machines. Twenty machines since 1988, year in which the principle of this commercial relationship which still stands today was forged.
Josep Massachs explains that "Cibsa is of the few who really know what they are selling." What we say as contractors of years ago. We have a common concern for the technology. "The best way to create added value is to apply new technologies".
Cibsa, based in Castellbisbal (Barcelona), distributed in Catalonia and Aragon throughout the full range of Hitachi, as well as machinery of Ausa Training (backhoe loaders and skid steer loaders), Carmix (concrete mixers up to 3.5 metres), love (asphalt compaction machines) and Vandel (waste compactors), among others. They also collaborate with other manufacturers and market accessories for their machines. Cibsa customers range from freelancers who have a single machine to quarries and large excavation business. The firm has a sales team that provides advice to clients about the effectiveness of the machines even though, according to said his Manager, today "the client already is determining what you need". The company also has a team of 20 people in the headquarters in post sale plus a network of workshops, a workshop within torno-fresa to make spare parts and a mechanic shop recycled courses, official services to ensure an excellent level of satisfaction with their customers and a store of 800 square meters with 12,000 references in stock. Not in vain, they consider the spare parts business as something that is totally the management of the company.

The administrator of Cibsa, Joan Bautista Sánchez, asked with regard to the current situation of the market, says that "it has undergone a change in the sense that there was a great potential, potential high light machine (backhoe loaders, minidigger, etc.)." "Today the sale of heavy machinery is maintained, it is more constant in the market because it does not depend exclusively on the construction, is public work". Sanchez believes that public works in Catalonia and Aragon is good but the worst, in his view, is that "we have the uncertainty of tomorrow and that affects us more psychologically than real". The administrator of Cibsa is of the view that it is a problem that the Bank has closed. This, according to Joan Bautista Sánchez, limits the possibilities of sale and generates uncertainty. However, according to Sanchez, in public works, the prospects are good. "We have quite a few works to do and not to finish them," he says.
In the same vein, responsible for Massachs excavations, Josep Massachs, States that the plans for the future of your company will be depending on the sector in the province of Girona. "Public works we must differentiate between the public private and the public of truth." That depends on the Administration will continue with a slight downward trend because European aid are over. "So with regard to the private public works, it will reduce to a minimum bearing in mind that the province of Girona lives on tourism," says Massachs.
In that regard, the Girona company expects a future employment oriented works in the public sector, the improvement of the urban and interurban routes of the municipalities, as well as enhance debris recycling and the use of the recycled product. Not in vain, Massachs excavations is one of Girona two companies that have resulted in management programme, rubble, Progroc debris management permission.
