Fascan to market Jekko Minicranes through new company, Jekko USA

Fascan International, a U.S. distributor of Fassi Cranes, has entered into an exclusive agreement with Ormet SpA of Italy to supply Jekko Minicranes to the U.S. market through a new company, Jekko USA. Jekko USA, which will be managed as a partner company to Fascan International, will assume the former sales and service functions of Minnesota-based C4 Cranes, which will no longer carry the line, according to a release.

Jekko Minicranes are compact crawler cranes designed to provide lifting and maneuvering capabilities in confined work areas. Applications for Jekko minicranes include glass handling and installation, steel erection, HVAC, infrastructure repair, utility servicing, precast concrete installation and more, according to the release.

"The addition of Jekko products complements our substantial line of small-, medium- and heavy-duty equipment," said Bernie Faloney, Fascan president and CEO, in the release. "By creating Jekko USA to market these unique cranes, we will broaden the choices we offer our customers and gain access to new markets."
