Dear reader,<br />

During the year 2009 we have concentrated on the<br />

expansion of our local service:<br />

Firstly the opening in our Burkina Faso branch of the first<br />

Cat Rental Store, unique in West Africa.<br />

Then our representation in Mali, which is working to respond to the specific<br />

needs of this country, notably electrification in rural environments.<br />

Lastly, with a view to improving our product support service to our clients,<br />

we are increasing the training of our site managers ( Parts Sales and Service<br />

Representatives ) present on the mining sites.<br />

You will be able to share these stories and others in our magazine.<br />

We would like to take this opportunity to wish you the very best for this<br />

New Year 2010.<br />
