Roger Runyan, CEO of Fraza

CLARK Material Handling has appointed Vitan Equipment as an authorised distributor of CLARK products in the Western Michigan market.

"CLARK is very pleased to be represented by Vitan Equipment in the Western Michigan market," says Dale Guckian, director of dealer development for CLARK Material Handling Company. "Vitan is a subsidiary of Fraza which has represented CLARK Material Handling products in Michigan since 1938. We are confident that the expansion of their service base will introduce additional customers to the exceptional service and support that they have been providing for over 80 years."

Roger Runyan, CEO of Fraza, says his company is excited to expand its reach to the west side of Michigan and is happy to partner with CLARK to achieve that.

"CLARK's full product line of equipment, along with our commitment to great service and customised solutions, will help our customers make the best decisions for their fleet and maximise the way they run their businesses," he says.

Vitan Equipment will support its CLARK new equipment, aftermarket parts, and service efforts out of its facility located in Kentwood, Michigan under Dave Sivako.

The Kentwood facility augments Vitan's dealerships in Sterling Heights and Grand Rapids, where it sells Linde and Baoli forklifts in addition to the CLARK line.

Fraza launched its Vitan subsidiary last month, as part of its geographic growth.
