The addition of this facility, which will augment the assembly we do here in Lexington of eight models, ensures the company has a broad manufacturing plan that can support global demand and specific regional product needs. I have been to this facility and met with their teams. They are committed to quality, on-time delivery and customer satisfaction. This is a very positive step for the global company’s long-term health.”

Using this system will enable this factory to handle complex welding, painting, assembly as well as finished good storage. Additionally, this facility houses a full purchasing and engineering teams to support cost competitive and market specific designs. The total campus is five acres and has room for future expansion. CLARK Material Handling International and CLARK Material Handling, USA are joint owners in this venture.
