This is the last edition of Forkliftaction.com News for 2008 - and what a year it's been. We've seen a huge turn-out of visitors at CeMAT in Germany and record attendance at the Asian version of the exhibition in Shanghai. We've seen more consolidation in the industry, with speculation that more will follow in the early part of 2009. But probably the most enduring memento of 2008 will be the fall-out from the credit crisis and global slowdown.
Of course, all of this action has meant some lively newsletters this year, with the addition of a US bureau chief, Roger Renstrom, well timed to ensure even more coverage of North America.
So as we prepare for a couple of weeks off, the whole team at Forklitfaction.com would like to thank all our editorial contributors, readers and advertisers for their support over the past 12 months.
We look forward to working with you all again in 2009.
