Bolzoni Auramo at the CeMat India 2009
Bolzoni Auramo participated for the third time in the CeMAT India 2009 show held in Mumbai from 10 to 13 December 2009.
At its booth, Bolzoni Auramo presented the AR-Series paper roll clamp with split arm, able to handle different diameter rolls at the same time and offering effective and safe solutions to heavy-duty paper handling tasks. Also on show was the HN-Series hook-on sideshifter which brings important advantages thanks to its vast range of uses.
The feedback from customers, truck dealers and end-users was very positive and Bolzoni Auramo, European market leader for forklift truck attachments, expects to benefit from the CeMAT contacts in the first quarter of 2010.
