Italian Company 283 MB has seen its products used at various sites in Brazil in preparation for the 2014 Football 1556 World Cup.

Following a partnership with Grupo Monte Sinai Locação, MB's crusher and screening buckets have been used during construction of the Arena Pernambuco stadium in the city of Recife, eastern Brazil, which is being carried out by Construtora Norberto 1305 Odebrecht.

It was Odebrecht who contacted Grupo Monte Sinai for the hire of its MB crusher buckets.

Following initial contact between Grupo Monte Sinai Locação owners, Abinael Manoel and Enoque Manoel De Souza, and MB area manager for Brazil, Carlotta Mettifogo, the group bought the first BF90.3 in May 2011 and used it for recycling demolished material at the Atlantico Sul shipyard in the Port of Suape, Pernambuco.

In January, 2012, the company bought another model from the range, the BF120.4, and it has now bought the screening bucket MBS-18, one of the MB’s latest products.

In 2010, MB crusher buckets were used during construction of the Soccer City Stadium ahead of the South African World Cup.
