In last week's newsletter, Forkliftaction.com News inadvertently described SMV Konecranes as SMV Lifttrucks. Forkliftaction.com News apologises for the error. SMV Konecranes has been the new name for the forklift and reach stacker manufacturer since it was bought by KCI Konecranes in September 1994. In this week's industry profile, we interview the new president and CEO of KCI Konecranes, Mr Pekka Lundmark.

The Forkliftaction.com team is exhibiting in CeMAT 2005 at Hall 11, Stand E20. We will be wearing our trademark orange and a great big smile - See you there!
