Plant & Equipment, the premier construction equipment marketplace in the MENA region, announces the acquisition of Global Equipment Trading, situated in Dubai?s Jebel Ali Free Zone, UAE.

The integration of Global Equipment Trading into the Plant & Equipment family aligns with the company's ambitious growth strategy for the GCC and broader MENA region, positioning itself as a leading online auction and advertising platform in the Middle East.

Plant & Equipment's drive to expand into a multichannel business where customers can easily buy, sell, or list equipment both on-site and online is highlighted by this strategic decision. The acquisition of Global Equipment Trading accelerates Plant & Equipment?s journey towards becoming a one-stop solution for all construction equipment needs.

Currently, sellers on PlantAndEquipment.com have the option to choose between auction or classified listings, offering them enhanced flexibility and a range of choices. P&E Auctions, a subsidiary brand under the Plant & Equipment umbrella, is distinguishing itself as an innovative online auction platform in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. P&E Auctions focuses on accumulating consignments and advertising heavy equipment for buyers in the Gulf, Levant, Africa, and Asia.

The acquisition will further fortify Plant & Equipment's position in the market, backed by industry-leading equipment verification, inspection reports and payment security measures. This ensures a secure and seamless experience for both buyers and sellers engaged in the process of buying and selling heavy machinery and trucks.
