On delivery eight Maltech technicians received training in a two day session how to correctly operate and service the new models.
The training session
Maltech - acquired by Mateco at the end of last year - operates from over 40 locations with 130 employees. It was initially established as a painting company - Armin Hunziker - in Zurich and purchased its first truck mounted lifts in order to improve safety and efficiency when painting at height. In 1971 it adopted the Maltech name and began to rent platforms out to other trades on a professional basis.
