Kioti is expanding its product portfolio with the MX series for mini excavators, challenging established providers such as Kubota, Takeuchi, and Yanmar. The Korean manufacturer primarily wants to win over municipalities and garden construction companies. For attachment manufacturers like MB Crusher or Engcon, this means an additional machine type for compatibility testing, but also potentially new sales channels. The segment under 6 tons operating weight is considered highly competitive in Germany with approximately 15,000 units sold annually.
