Hangcha will open a new 30,000 sqft. (2,787 sqm) warehouse in Mississauga as it expands its presence in Canada.

Hangcha Forklift Canada, a unit of China’s Hangcha Group, says the new addition complements the existing warehouses in Vaudreuil-Dorion and Vancouver, allowing the company to maintain an inventory of 550 units at any given time. 

Hangcha Canada's Ontario sales representative Randy Thistel says: ““With product support, parts support and technical training that is second to none, the Mississauga warehouse is increasing our ability to support and grow Hangcha Canada’s footprint in Ontario.”

The company will also expand its headquarters in Quebec early next year, adding an onsite training centre and a parts deparment, according to Hangcha Canada vice president of sales Robert Pitzul.

“(This) allows us to keep up with Canada’s ever-growing demand for our electric [lithium-ion] product line,” Pitzul says.
