From 's Graveland to the world: our distribution network
What began in 's-Graveland as a Dutch specialist in grapples has grown into a global player with a solid network of distribution partners.
Since 1995, Zijtveld has been building grapples that excel in simplicity, robustness, and reliability. This no-nonsense approach has proven popular not only in the Netherlands, but also far beyond. Today, Zijtveld is represented on every continent, with a presence in twenty countries in Europe alone.
Global confidence in Dutch reliability
Side grab buckets are used worldwide in sectors where reliability is not a luxury but a requirement: construction, demolition, recycling, and forestry. Whether it's an operator in Finland, a contractor in Australia, or a recycling company in South America, they choose the proven simplicity of Dutch craftsmanship.
Our distribution network has recently expanded with a new partner in Denmark, KSM Trading (www.ksm-maskinservice.com). This is a strategic move, given the increasing demand for sustainable and maintenance-friendly grapples.
What does this mean for our customers?
For end users of our grapples, a global network means speed, availability, and expertise.
Our local distributors offer direct access to:
- Wide range of new grapples for a variety of applications
- Technical advice tailored to regional conditions and machinery
- Maintenance and service performed by local specialists
- Original parts, often available within 48 hours
Thanks to this network, end users are assured of fast support and minimal downtime, wherever they are in the world.
Relationships as a foundation
Zijtveld does not believe in rapid growth without a solid foundation. The network's success is due to long-term cooperation with distributors who are more than just resellers. By investing specifically in training, support, and product knowledge, these partners remain up to date and engaged. They know the products, the technology, and the people behind the brand.
For customers, this means one thing: you don't just get a grab. You get a solution, with local service and the assurance of Dutch Zijtveld knowledge and quality.
