customer center in Panama, to give closer support and an extended offer
to the growing customer base in Central America and the Caribbean.

The new customer center, Atlas Copco Central America S. A., will market
products such as drill rigs, consumables and parts for both underground

construction and ground engineering equipment and compressors.

One important project in the region is the Panama Canal expansion to

in construction,” says Björn Rosengren, Business Area President Atlas
Copco Construction and Mining Technique. “The new customer center
provides a solid base for growth and enables us to offer customers a
wider range of products and give them closer support.”

The customer center will initially employ approximately 15 people.
