Crown Equipment Corp has established its own direct sales and service operation in Italy, following the opening of similar operations in Spain in 2011 and Austria in 2012.

The firm's retail operation, Crown Lift Trucks, will assume responsibility for the business activities of current distributor AMIS SpA of Paderno Dugnano, Italy near Milan and hire the AMIS employees.

"The Crown name is well established in Italy," says Piero Lombardi, general manager of Crown Lift Trucks in Italy and formerly with AMIS.

Crown manufactures many of its products being offered in Italy at a factory in Roding, Germany. Overnight parts deliveries from Crown's European parts centre in Munich will support the new Italian service organisation.

AMIS in Milan province had been formed through the convergence of several forklift sales, service and rental dealership companies including La Penchini Macchine Industriali Srl of Corciano in Perugia province, Califano Carrelli SpA in Rome and SIMAT Srl of Palo Del Colle in Bari province.

Crown is based in New Bremen.

Forkliftaction's JOB MARKET

It’s the year 2000. You’re in front of a boxy beige desktop waiting for the screeching ramblings of your dial-up to reach its finale. You go to Yahoo!, MSN, or maybe AOL, and start the mind-numbing process of finding your very specific needle in the digital haystack. And with web pages loading one image at a time, patience isn’t just a virtue – it’s a requirement!

As clumsy as this early iteration seems now, this technology was the great enabler that allowed Forkliftaction to connect to the industry across the globe.  

To everyone who has connected with Forkliftaction in the past 25 years, thank you for your contribution to our success! We feel deeply touched by your words of encouragement.
