Sweden’s Semax has appointed E&W Stapler-Technik as its authorised dealer for the North Rhine-Westphalia region of Germany as it continues its European expansion.

At the same time as signing the dealership agreement, E&W ordered its first Semax forklift, a SE80L/6-E model, for its rental fleet.

Semax chief executive Tobias Ingemarsson says: “With E&W we get a very committed partner who will play an important role in driving Semax’s sales in a large and industrially dense region.”

E&W chief executive officer Christoph Wagner says: “We are happy to start working with Semax and that the entire range of Semax forklifts, 6-25 tons, can be obtained with electric drive is very interesting in the current transition.”

 In May, Semax appointed FFB Gabelstapler as its authorised dealer for Baden-Württemberg in Germany.
