Heli is the largest manufacturer of forklifts in China. They supply forklifts to a country with a population of over 1 billion people and a booming economy. I suspect that Heli wouldn't have to sell any forklifts outside of China to rank in the top 20. The questions I would ask are how many forklifts did Heli sell outside of China, the dollar value of those sales, and the geographic spread of those truck sales. Parts availability follows those items.

All that being said: Beware US forklift manufacturers - The Chinese are coming!

Fact of the week
Brothers Adolf ("Adi") and Rudolf ("Rudi") Dassler split their shoe company after WWII due to a bitter feud, and established the rival companies of Adidas and Puma. Their personal animosity and business rivalry divided their German hometown Herzogenaurach. The town became known as "the town of bent necks" due to the intense loyalty to each brand.
