Kalmar has broken ground on a new site for its customer experience centre in North Charleston, South Carolina, USA.

Developed by Landmark Enterprises, the centre will serve as a showroom, training facility, demonstration area and customer service centre for Kalmar's North American mobile equipment business, including counterbalance and container handling products. The 1,390 square metre location will feature over 186 square metres of office space and a 6,500 square metre all concrete yard where customers will be able to test drive and train to use Kalmar equipment. The new facility is scheduled to open early next year.

Vice president mobile equipment solution sales Steve Cianci said: “The Kalmar sales team is eager to open this facility in the critical Charleston market. Once complete, we will have equipment staged for quick delivery, room to showcase new equipment and demonstrate our products for our dealers and end users alike. We'll also have the ability to offer safety, operator and technical training on all our products as our training facilities will double in size. Additionally, this facility allows us to offer service and support for certain Kalmar products in the Charleston area.”

Vice president market area North America Chris Booth added: “This new development will provide a unique opportunity for our North American customers to experience and train on our products. We are excited to be partnering with Landmark and are grateful for their contributions and to the city of North Charleston for welcoming this opportunity.”
