YANMAR COMPACT EQUIPMENT EMEA

With GB Trucks joining the official network of Italian dealers, Yanmar reaffirms its strong presence in a key area—namely Rome, Viterbo, and Rieti—offering its complete range of mini excavators, skid steer loaders, and compact dumpers.

Yanmar Compact Equipment EMEA (Yanmar) has announced the addition of GB Trucks, a company within the Bondatti Group based in Paliano (Frosinone), to its network of official Italian dealers. This partnership allows Yanmar to strengthen its presence in Central Italy, particularly in the provinces of Rome, Viterbo, and Rieti, reaffirming its strong commitment to providing high-quality compact machinery and fast, efficient customer support.

Founded in December 2010, GB Trucks has become a symbol of steady growth and excellence in the field of industrial vehicles and earthmoving machinery. Initially operating as an authorised service centre for DAF and Isuzu, the company has successfully expanded its offering to become an authorised dealer for prestigious brands. A part of the long-established Bondatti Group, GB Trucks today offers a wide range of services, including sales, technical support, rentals, and spare parts supply. With its workshop equipped with cutting-edge technology, the company can work on vehicles and machinery of all kinds, guaranteeing quick and effective service. The newly established partnership with Yanmar will allow the dealership to expand its fleet of earthmoving equipment, offering its clients a truly comprehensive solution.

“We are truly honoured to have been chosen to become an official dealer for Yanmar Compact Equipment EMEA and to represent such a prestigious brand,” said Claudio Ciccotti, Sales Manager at GB Trucks. “Yanmar has always stood for efficiency and reliability, and I am confident that our customers across Rome, Viterbo, and Rieti will appreciate the exceptional quality of these machines, which are practically unrivalled on the market. As soon as the first machines are available, we will host an Open Day at our headquarters, so that all our customers can personally test the full range of mini excavators, skid steer loaders, and tracked dumpers that we will be offering.”

GB Trucks will make the full Yanmar range—up to 10 tonnes—available to its diverse customer base, from drilling companies to local operators in the construction and road maintenance sectors. “I have no doubt that the entire Yanmar product line will capture the attention and trust of our clients. This partnership with such a well-recognised brand has also come about thanks to the support of some local companies we’ve been working with since our founding. When they learned there was no official Yanmar dealer in Rome, several of our customers recommended GB Trucks directly to Yanmar’s management, laying the foundation for this agreement. Our business strategy has always focused on offering brands with strong market recognition and impeccable reputations, so to complete our range, we could not have found a better partner than Yanmar.”

Claudio Ciccotti then highlighted the construction features that make Yanmar machines so competitive in the market. “Just by looking at one of Yanmar’s mini excavators, you can immediately see the build quality and the meticulous attention to detail. Yanmar was the first manufacturer to introduce zero tail swing mini excavators, such as the current ViO23-6, which is ideal for working in confined spaces and easy to transport thanks to its weight of just 2.4 tonnes. Over the years, the company has never stood still, continuing to invest in improving every aspect of its machines.”
