MiMA UK expands dealer network

MiMA Forklifts UK, the UK distributor for MiMA China, has added two more dealers to its network.

West Midlands-based Midwest Forklifts joined the network earlier this month.

The relationship between the two started when MiMA UK sold a MQK30 forklift to Midwest Forklifts some time ago.

Midwest added two more to its fleet before officially joining as a dealer.

Lichfield-based Shenstone Mechanical Services has also been added to the MiMA dealer network.

“With a focus on reliable solutions and a practical, customer-first approach, Shenstone Mechanical Services is a great fit for the MiMA family,” MiMA states. 

“We're proud to have them on board as an authorised MiMA dealer and look forward to working together to bring our lithium-powered range to more businesses across the UK.”

The MiMA Forklifts UK product suite includes lithium-ion powered forklifts, AGVs, articulated trucks, multi-directional trucks, VNA trucks, reach trucks and pallet stackers
