Since then , Miller has continued its innovative path with several developments and upgrades . “ We then took this concept one step further by creating a universal multi-pin grabber , which enables host machines from any brand that are fitted with a Miller coupler to pick up any brand of bucket or attachment ,” Keith says . “ We ’ ve also designed buckets to match the couplers , providing our customers with additional productivity and versatility .
“ Our depth of understanding is what sets us apart in the market ; my early experiences of fixing machines on job sites means that we genuinely understand the products , as well as customers ’ problems and requirements . This ultimately adds value to our customers ’ operations , whether it be a dealer for the OEM or a large contracting company .”
Miller has also established an independent global distributor network , supplying global markets including the US , Europe , India ,
the Middle East , and Australia through a combination of wholly owned subsidiaries and joint venture agreements . “ We ’ re proud to manufacture in the UK , but we recognized that to grow internationally , we needed to manufacture products closer to the end markets ,” Keith states . “ Most recently , we ’ ve opened a distribution center for the North American market in Houston , Texas , and we ’ re very fortunate to have fantastic relationships with OEMs all around the world .
“ We ’ re pushing to win more market share around the globe ; we ’ re the dominant player in the UK , but there are opportunities to reach the same status in other geographic markets ,” Keith concludes . “ We have a five-year plan in place to double the size of the company , and as we do so , we ’ ll strive to further develop our relationships with OEMs and become their provider of choice .” ■
