They have (or had) a sales office somewhere around here. Maybe I should just drop in . . . ?
I dropped in.
Just an office. Looks like they are still 'rebuilding' their US presence in the OPE market - lots of
servicing dealers listed on their dealer finder, but limited numbers of
selling dealers with product in stock.
They did mention that '
Efco' (saws and OPE), '
Tecomec' (grinders and chainsaw/OPE accessories), '
Comet' (pumps and pressure washers), and '
Mecline' (spray nozzles and cleaning equipment) are now all under the same umbrella company. Efco is still the only major chainsaw manufacturer that I know, aside from Oregon, of that offers PowerSharp chain as an OEM option on some of their saws. Maybe we will see a self-cleaning/self-sharpening chainsaw from them?
They could not tell me anything about any changes in how these items might be distributed, or if things will be ramping up soon. Apparently. they were at GIE.
