Every day this pink-liveried attachment is on hire is good news for the charity Prevent Breast Cancer, as MTK donates a percentage of the breaker’s earnings each year. Sadly, MTK’s Mark Thomas lost his wife Victoria to the disease in 2019. Through a variety of fundraising events since she received her diagnosis, Mark’s family, MTK and their customers have raised almost £45,000.

MTK has been an Indeco dealer for over two decades, supplying the Italian company’s range of demolition, recycling and forestry attachments. MTK is also a manufacturer of breaker headstocks and the like, in this capacity also acting as a supplier to Indeco UK.

In turn, Indeco UK reports good product and spares availability, together with great customer service from the manufacturer. It’s an example of an international supply chain that is working well, from the Italian factory to a breaker left at a customer’s premises, available for hire and as when required, all of which helps to raise money for charity.
