Combilift wins Brazilian contract

Combilift has won a major contract
valued at 600,000 Euros to supply
four forklifts to Brazil’s largest steel
producer Gerdau. The
announcement was made during a
recent Enterprise Ireland trade
mission to Brazil, aimed at helping
Irish companies win new business
and increase export sales in this vast
market.

A key factor in securing the
contract was Combilift’s proven
ability to customise its products and
thereby meet Gerdau’s strict
requirements for safety, operator
comfort and operational productivity.

“Winning this business with
Gerdau is hugely significant for
Combilift both in its own right and
also for positioning the company to
further extend its reach into the wider
Latin American market,” said MD
Martin McVicar. “Our customised
approach to manufacturing has
enabled us to sell 14,000 units in 50
countries to date, and we now look
forward to increasing our presence in
the Brazilian market.”
