Rocla Oyj's board of directors has received authorisation from the company's annual general meeting to sell a maximum of 150,000 Rocla Oyj shares at the Helsinki Stock Exchange.

The proportion of materials handling equipment leased by Jungheinrich customers is on the rise, according to Jungheinrich's board of management chairman Cletus von Pichler.
"In 2004, for the first time, the value of leasing contracts, based on the original price, exceeded EUR1 billion," von Pichler told the company's annual general meeting.
"This amount represents more than 65,000 trucks sold on lease contracts. The growth rates are highly impressive: 7 per cent in terms of total value and 8 per cent in terms of the number of trucks."
