Randon, one of the largest semi-trailer manufacturers in Latin America, has completed its first export of semi-trailers from Brazil to Indonesia. The opening of the new market began with the shipment of sugarcane transport products, in the roadtrain and mega roadtrain configurations, which differ from conventional combinations by bringing together two sets of reinforced semi-trailers and trailers connected by a special dolly. The exported mega roadtrain model can transport up to 144 tons of cargo, with a Gross Combination Weight of 211 tons, with an application aimed at a company in the sugar-energy sector for the production of sugar and bioethanol.
According to Renato Franco, Managing Director – Randoncorp in the United States, who was responsible for negotiations in that region, the product’s differential was an important factor in the transaction, confirming the brand’s expertise in exporting semi-trailers in different modalities, such as SKD (Semi Knock-Down), CKD (Completely Knocked Down) and CBU (Completely Built-Up), in which the vehicles leave Brazil partially and fully disassembled or fully assembled and ready, respectively.
“We count on the full support and guidance of our technical teams to assist the client at the destination for product assembly. Furthermore, the portfolio of robust solutions for agribusiness, especially due to the tradition in developing products for the sugarcane segment, also contributed to the success of the business,” he highlights.
Randon is shipping prototypes for testing by the partner in Indonesia, with an estimated shipment of the contracted batch of 174 products starting in July. The company is the main Brazilian exporter of road implements, with an international network composed of 190 distribution points and more than 100 thousand international products commercialized throughout 77 years of history.
