Jekko’s history
The Jekko product line arrived on the market in the late ‘90s as a result of work to design special machines to order and the production of the first mini cranes.
The “Jekko” brand was launched in 2007 while the following year saw the inauguration of a dedicated production site at the foot of the Veneto Prealps.
