"It all started in 1976 when two entrepreneurs in Skelleftea°, Sweden, faced a confined space demolition challenge that led them to develop the world’s first demolition robot," the company said in a release.
For the past 40 years, Brokk has delivered about 7,000 demolition machines to more than 100 countries across the world.
"We are proud and excited to be celebrating 40 years of innovation in the remote-controlled demolition industry," said Peter Bigwood, vice president of sales and marketing for Brokk in North America. "Our products have not only changed the nature of the demolition business, but they also improved the environmental and safety factors for contractors and operators worldwide."
Brokk said it will be celebrating the anniversary with a range of events and a preview of the new Brokk 120 Diesel, its smallest diesel-powered model.
