Forklift truck provider Doosan Industrial Vehicle UK is sponsoring the Aviva Premiership rugby union team, the Exeter Chiefs. The Doosan logo will be carried on the club's shirts throughout the 2014/15 season.

The partnership got off to a winning start for the first game of the season - with the Chiefs thumping London Welsh 52-0. Doosan has strong links with the southwest of England, supplying forklifts through the dealer Westexe Forklifts, which has depots in Exeter and Plymouth.

The southwest is an important region for Doosan as it is emerging as a strong area for retail growth in warehousing, and consequently forklift sales, with Farm Foods opening a large warehouse in Avonmouth this year, and other companies also looking for space in the area.

Tim Waples, director of Doosan Industrial Vehicle UK, says: "We are very pleased to join Exeter Chiefs at such an exciting time for them. The Chiefs are strong, rugged and powerful, like our vehicles, so here's to success for us both in 2014/15.

Separately, over 900 executives and employees joined the Doosan Tech Forum 2014 last month, where research papers were presented and awards were given out.

The forum was held on 28-29 August to share latest research by and promote technology exchanges among Doosan's major affiliates, including Doosan Heavy Industries & Construction, Doosan Infracore, Doosan Engine and Doosan DST.

Doosan Group chairman Yongmaan Park and more than 900 R&D personnel attended the forum held at Chung-Ang University in Seoul. During the forum, 400 research papers relating to Doosan's businesses were presented.
