“The agreement with HCME is an important step in the implementation of our OEM strategy, and it underlines the long-term, purposeful development currently in progress at Rototilt as well as in our tiltrotator systems. There is record interest among machine manufacturers in excavators that are factory-prepared for plug-and-play tiltrotator installation. Building on our long-standing cooperation with HCME will help us establish our brand and solutions in even more European markets," says Stefan Bergström, VP Sales & Marketing for Rototilt Group AB.

Rototilt is one of the world's leading players in the development and production of tiltrotators, and the company is currently enjoying strong growth in several international markets. The strengthened cooperation with HCME is a natural step on that journey.

“Like us, Hitachi Construction Machinery is known for its reliable products, and together we can confirm that our cooperation will be an excellent solution for the end customer. For an industry leader like Hitachi Construction Machinery to choose a Rototilt tiltrotator to launch their new LANDCROS One concept machine at Bauma 2025 was a great endorsement for us. What’s more, they share our goal of making everyday work easier for drivers, and innovative technology and a sustainable future are both strong driving forces," says Stefan Bergström. 

The new agreement will enable HCME to supply excavators with seamless integration of machine couplers, tiltrotators and control systems from Rototilt. It also deepens our collaboration in such areas as support, aftermarket and training. “Both companies have spent decades earning trust through innovation and keeping our promises to customers. This partnership opens new doors for the construction industry. Together, we're creating solutions that make a real difference," says HCME President and CEO Francesco Quaranta.
