MD´s „Message“

TREPEL Airport Equipment - Managing Director Carsten Schimkat

Dear business partners and friends

We can look back at yet another record year in terms of sold loaders and aircraft tractors. Of course, without you this would not have been possible. I would like to thank all our customers for the trust they have put in TREPEL in 2018 to enable us to accomplish these record sales. I have pleasure to announce that, commencing April 01, 2019 TREPEL Ltd. Hong Kong will officially begin its operations with a focus on an improved local support in this region.

We are quickly heading towards the Interairport 2019 which will take place in October. TREPEL is planning to display a broad fleet of electric powered loaders and aircraft tractors on one of the largest stands, again in cooperation with COBUS Industries. We look forward to seeing you on our stand.
