With the start of production in Vietnam, we have taken an important step for our long-term success on the world market”.
The production site covers an area of five hectares and still has room for future expansion. The plant has a production capacity of 10,000 units per year. In addition to production, there is also the purchasing of supplier parts on site as well as an R&D team that develops cost-efficient and market-specific materials handling vehicles together with the worldwide Clark development departments. https://www.logisticsbusiness.com/materials-handling-warehousing/forklift-technology/
