IPS France to supply Grove Manlift parts

IPS France, a division of UK based International replacement parts and after-sales service supplier IPS, has been appointed official Grove Manlift parts distributor for France by MinnPar .

US based MinnPar sells OEM replacement parts for a range of access manufacturers specialising in ‘out of production’ and obsolete product lines. IPS France will stock the parts for Manlift AMZ and MZ booms and SM scissors at its premises in Libourne, supported by MinnPar's European distribution centre. IPS France will also have full access to Grove Manlift parts and service manuals, along with technical information to provide further customer support.

Frédéric Allier, managing director of IPS France said: “as an established business, we have existing relationships with the French rental market, and can offer Grove Manlift customers the benefits of an improved and professional parts service with our established distribution links and technical support”.

Art Ashworth, MinnPar vice president of sales & marketing added: “We are pleased to appoint IPS France as our distributor. With our existing relationship in the UK, it seemed logical to extend the distributorship for Grove Manlift into France. Once again, we believe that together we can offer our French customers a faster and more efficient solution to sourcing their Grove Manlift Parts”.
Grove/Manitowoc sold the Grove Manlift parts business to Minnpar in 2007, some three years after JLG acquired the ongoing Manlift business, which also included Toucan and Lift Lux. France has one of the highest populations of more recent Grove Manlift booms and scissors.
