Strong through cooperation: The MIETEplus cooperation

The idea is quite simple. When several specialists work together, each can also accomplish more. The cooperation of specialised construction machinery and construction equipment leasers is a group of committed businessmen and women, who work actively together to strengthen their own competence in the regional market. The common ground is the leasing of construction machinery and construction equipment, such as:

• Heating appliances
• Site caravans
• Containers
• Compression technology
• Power tools
• Hoardings
• Compressors
• Compact engines
• and much more ……

Use the opportunities in your regional market. The members of the MIETEplus group are experienced construction machinery leasers. Each has had an excellent reputation in its region for a long time. Through the strength of the MIETEplus group, each individual business person can work in an even more economic way.

Construction machinery leasers and their customers benefit from these advantages:

• Exchange of equipment and sub-leasing
• Immediate purchasing benefits
• Exchange of information over all sectors
• Used equipment marketing within the MIETEplus group
• Joint training sessions

The FORMAT trade brand is successfully used in the Construction Equipment sector. FORMAT is available exclusively to the Construction Equipment expert group and is very specialised in terms of the depth and breadth of the range. With FORMAT construction equipment, we offer a trade brand range with which E/D/E members are able to differentiate themselves clearly from the competition. A 24-hour delivery service and attractive prices for industrial B2B are guaranteed.

The Construction Equipment expert group catalogue with its current circulation of 60,000 copies and about 8000 products from 100 contract suppliers has developed into the industry catalogue and is an important service for affiliated traders. With 8 alternate versions, about 800 catalogue pages when using alternate versions, every trader can display their own distribution channels. It goes without saying that expert group members can tailor the catalogues precisely to their establishment through individual cover pages and chapter title pages.

About 1500 products are available to E/D/E members from the Wuppertal central warehouse. These are the most well-established and logical products from the good sectors of structural engineering, civil engineering and the gardening and landscape trade. This resulted in a turnover of about €5.7 million in 2011. In addition, the adjoining ranges, such as hand tools, industrial safety, fastening systems, chemical and technical products, workshop parts and operating equipment are available to traders from the central warehouse in Wuppertal.

The Construction Equipment sector has a competence group for the gardening and landscape trade. In this regard, seven members are conceptually networked in order to be able to serve the target group of garden and landscape construction in the most professional manner possible. The gardening and landscape trade catalogue was developed with its 250 pages for this matter and is integrated into the current construction catalogue. Special ranges for professional users are summarised in a full breadth and depth of range. The objective of the members of the gardening and landscape trade competence group is to be able to serve the special requirements of end users competently and comprehensively as part of a communal structure with the relevant competitive advantages.
