Kalmar Australia expands its Australian network

Kalmar Australia has recently expanded its national dealer network, partnering with materials handling company, NTP Forklifts.

“NTP are industrial truck specialists with many years’ experience participating in both the conventional and container handling forklift markets, the new partnership is the perfect complement to our current dealer base,” said Peter McLean, Vice President, Kalmar Oceania.

“With the rapid growth in sales of Kalmar mobile equipment in Australia over the last five years, it is vital we expand our service network to support our growing customer base. NTP Forklifts are the premier industrial forklift dealer in Australia and we are confident they will be the perfect fit for the Kalmar Oceania dealer network.”

Damien Garvey, CEO of NTP Forklifts added, “When working with containers and/or heavy loads, Kalmar equipment has been the brand of choice in Europe for many years. This brand confidence has now been reflected in Australia where Kalmar achieved a significant market share of 44 per cent in 2013 in the 16 tonne plus category, proving that the quality and reliability of the product has been well and truly recognised.”

The partnership with NTP Forklifts already adds to a strong Kalmar Oceania dealer network consisting of Pacific Materials Handling, Liftrite, Globequip, Daysworth and AB Equipment, the network spans Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific region.
