Finnish materials handling equipment maker Kalmar, has signed a deal to supply five forklifts to Nordic stainless steel tubular products manufacturer OSTP Finland.

Kalmar says the order was booked in Q4 2025 and delivery is scheduled for Q3 and Q4 of 2026.

The five medium forklifts - which have capacities between 9T and 18T - will be supported by a five-year essential care maintenance contract.

“The new [forklifts] will play a key role in supporting OSTP’s material handling needs as the company continues to expand its offering and lead the way in sustainability,” Kalmar states.

Thomas Pettersson, managing director, OSTP Finland adds: “Our investments in modern production technology, capacity and sustainable practices support our long-term development towards more digital and efficient operations”.

“Working with experienced partners such as Kalmar is an important part of this journey, enabling reliable, safe and efficient material handling solutions that support responsible resource use and a safe, supportive work environment for our employees.”

Kalmar has also announced the signing of a new three-year complete care service agreement with Yilport Oslo Terminal.

The agreement marks the continuation of a partnership which began in 2016 under Cargotec, now evolving as Kalmar operates as an independent company. 

The Yilport Oslo fleet includes eight Kalmar E-One2 hybrid rubber-tyred gantry (RTG) cranes, ship-to-shore (STS) cranes, and an extensive mobile equipment fleet including Kalmar reachstackers and forklifts.
