Palfinger Platforms adds to French distribution

Palfinger Platforms has confirmed Palfinger France will take over the distribution of its 3.5 tonne 'Light Class' of truck and van mounted lifts, produced by Palfinger Italy.

Palfinger France - a joint venture between Palfinger and Groupe Vincent - will be responsible for all sales, promotion and product support through its 120 service outlets.

Palfinger Platforms will continue to sell its larger truck mounted lifts direct through Yannick Borgel, with service coming from a series of companies, including GNS, NGI and PVI. The network will be completed in early 2015 with an additional 10 outlets.

The confirmation follows some market testing over the last quarter, as we reported from the JDL exhibition in Marseille this October - see: A few glimpses of JDL.
