Partnership to expand compact wheel loader range
CNH Construction has announced a strategic partnership with Finnish manufacturer Norcar that will strengthen the CASE Construction Equipment and New Holland Construction compact wheel loader portfolios.
Under the agreement, Norcar’s compact and sub-compact wheel loaders will be marketed through the CASE and New Holland Construction dealer networks, expanding CNH’s offering in the under-four-tonne operating weight segment.
Founded in 1998 and based on Finland’s west coast, Norcar manufactures compact loaders for applications including agriculture, grounds maintenance, construction, material handling and municipal work.
The new machines are scheduled to be unveiled later this year, with deliveries to European dealers expected to begin during the first quarter of 2027.
Designed for work in confined spaces, the loaders offer a compact footprint, low ground pressure and easy transportability, making them suitable for a wide range of applications where larger wheel loaders or skid steer loaders may be less practical.
Humayun Chishti, President of CNH Construction, said the partnership fills an important gap within the company’s product portfolio.
“Norcar’s products integrate seamlessly into our brand portfolio, allowing us to meet customer needs in the smaller compact and sub-compact segments that our current line-up does not fully cover. Norcar was selected as the ideal partner thanks to its complementary product range, product quality and potential for future production growth.”
Lotta Linden-Svarvar, Chief Executive Officer of Norcar, said the agreement would significantly raise the company’s international profile while maintaining its own identity.
“This partnership with CNH Construction elevates Norcar’s global visibility, confirms the quality of our products and opens the door to international recognition, while preserving and strengthening the distinct identity of the Norcar brand.”
The agreement broadens CNH Construction’s compact equipment offering and provides CASE and New Holland dealers with access to a new range of purpose-built compact wheel loaders aimed at customers working across construction, agriculture and municipal sectors.
