New Palfinger dealer in Israel

The Ha'argaz group has taken over the distribution of Palfinger cranes, Hooklifts and Epsilon cranes in Israel.

The new partnership covering both sales and service was agreed in October and an open day to mark the occasion was attended by more than 100 customers from 50 companies.

Palfinger said: "We are delighted to welcome the Ha'argaz Sales Group to the Palfinger family, and wish our Israeli partners a good start and much success! This new agreement is regarded as proof of the efforts being made by Palfinger, to continuously improve the sales network to meet the challenges of the environment and meet customer needs."

Ha'argaz is Palfinger's new loader crane distributor in Isreal

Ha'araz is a diverse group whose activities include transportation, metal processing, mobile storage racks, refrigeration, and retail display systems. The company was founded in 1932 by four young carpenters, to produce wooden crates for citrus fruit. In the off season the new co-operative company needed something else to do, and so began building bus bodies, which in those days were made of wood.

This quickly developed into the bus division, which later became the Transportation division which will handle the Palfinger line. Since 2000 the company has been owned by major-general Haggai Shalom the current chairman.
