Guests were welcome with an impressive display of machines

Skyjack president Brad Boehler said: “Skyjack has enjoyed an enviable reputation for scissor type products, largely based on their simple reliability, quality and solid performance. That has led to a situation in 2013 where we will manufacture our 250,000th machine. A quarter of a million machines is something we are very proud of and an achievement that means we are the worlds' leading scissor lift manufacturer. We look forward to expanding that reputation with our boom product.”

Adriano Battazza general manager of Skyjack Brazil added: “In less than a year Skyjack has taken a leadership position in the market for scissor products in Brazil. Brazil has shown an interest in Skyjack products for some time, and a key part of the timing of our decision to come to the market has been to ensure that we supported customers, not only with well-designed and reliable products but with the appropriate aftermarket support. I am pleased to say our parts inventory and delivery performance is such that we have in excess of a 95 percent same day pick rate.”

The walls of the facility were decorated with logos representing each of the more than 30 customers that the company has sold to since it opened the facility. “We thought it was a nice way to recognise the partnerships we have with our customers. They encouraged us to come to Brazil, so much so that the walls are nearly full! We look forward to adding more banners...and if that means we need more wall space...well then that’s a good problem to have,” said Battazza.
