I heard a whisper that a certain Cat dealer in the UK was interested. I would presume they would want Samuk so as to acquire the European distribution of the Hangcha product, which is probably the best of the Chinese forklifts. If it's true I wonder what the MCFE reaction would be ??

Like i said some one will lose quite a lot of money if they were to purchase it. Maybe Sir Neviile should just pack it all up and shut it down. HC will look to enter the UK under there own name so who ever buy's it is set to lose out.

There is nothing to sell apart from a load of old stock and if u check the company out its lost half of its net worth in the past year.

It would be interesting who buy's it. Bet they will lose a lot of money over the next five years.Maybe NACCO could buy it for there UTILEV brand same truck and NACCO like to lose money.

I think another manufacture will buy it for a cheap brand in UK.It can't be worth much whats the turnover 5 - 7 Million
