More than 450 distributors and customers from 36 countries attended the Powerscreen World Dealer Conference March 16-19 in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. Distributors came together to learn how Powerscreen is addressing the latest challenges facing their customers, such as the need for higher quality/more closely spec’d products, pressure on efficiency and operating costs, and environmental pressure for cleaner/quieter equipment.
