Forklift maker wins Brazilian contract

Monaghan: Combilift has won contracts valued at €600,000 to supply four of its unique forklift trucks to Brazilian steel giant Gerdau.

The Irish firm introduced the world’s first engine powered, all three-wheel drive multi-directional forklift truck to the market in 1998. Since then, it has sold over 14,000 machines across 50 countries, won awards for its innovative products and is now the acknowledged global leader in its field.

Combilift was one of 34 Irish companies on an Enterprise Ireland trade mission in Brazil when it secured this contract.
