Haulotte has signed a distribution agreement with Ivory Coast based ICOGEF Equipments.
Based in Abidjan, ICOGEF has been distributing Italian built Baoli forklifts in West Africa for decades and also represents Still forklifts and Combilift handlers. It has now added Haulotte aerial work platforms to its range and will provide a full range of after sales services throughout the region, in addition to sales.
The move adds a 17th distributor in the region and strengthens Haulotte’s coverage in West Africa, while providing improved service and support.

ICOGEF general manager Hassan Khalil said: "Our vision and objective have always been to position ourselves as a solutions provider and not just an equipment supplier, which is why this partnership between Haulotte will enable us to offer complete, professional and high quality solutions to our customers, who have placed their trust in us completely. Haulotte, its reputation and its dynamic team, in addition to our determination to succeed, will be the strong points of this success."
Thierry Seon director of the Haulotte Africa & Islands subsidiary added: "The Côte d'Ivoire is a country in the midst of an economic boom, so strengthening our local presence was an obvious choice. The dynamism and determination of Hassan and his team to move forward convinced us of this partnership."
