(Business in Cameroon) - In the last two months, the Cameroonian heavy-duty engine market for the construction and public works sector has had a new member join its ranks. According to reliable resources, the new recruit is the American manufacturer, Pionner Equipment Company, which recently opened offices in Yaoundé and Douala.

Created in 2004 in Jacksonville, USA, the engine manufacturer will now be providing Cameroonian contractors with equipment such as dredgers, amphibian excavators, graders, crusher engines, concrete and asphalt plants as well as trailers. 

“Our strength is the price. Our prices are all unbeatable,” stated Daniel Davy Ateba, the Pionner Equipment head in Cameroon, explaining the company’s strategy to penetrate the already competitive Cameroonian market where giants such as Tractafric Equipment are already present along with private entities more specialised in construction equipment rental.

Since its creation only ten years ago, Pionner Equipment Company, has already delivered close to 500 heavy-duty engines around the world and is present in Africa, especially in countries such as Mali, Ghana, Nigeria, Gabon, Zambia or Burkina Faso.
