As we reported exclusively just a short time ago, Gilles Ronnet – Caterpillar’s much-respected demolition specialist has begun a well-deserved wind-down to an equally well-deserved retirement. (You can read all about that here; or you can watch our exclusive interview with Gilles here).
But Caterpillar has wasted no time in finding a suitable replacement to fill Gilles’ formidable shoes. The company’s new demolition specialist is Jean-Christophe Etienne; a man who brings with him significant experience coupled with a genuine passion for and curiosity about the demolition business.
He has timed his arrival to perfection. Over the past few years, Caterpillar’s focus on the demolition business has intensified.
The company has a full suite of UHD demolition machines, together with straight boom alternatives. Furthermore, the company offers a comprehensive line-up of demolition tools that are a match for anything in the market.
During the recent European Demolition Association Study Tour to Italy, DemolitionNews caught up with Jean-Claude Etienne for this exclusive interview.
