The Lilly Company has added Manitou to its range

French all-terrain materials handling equipment maker Manitou has added The Lilly Company to its dealer network.

The Lilly Company operates 12 locations, including Memphis, Kingsport, Jackson, and Knoxville in Tennessee; Mobile, Dothan, Montgomery, Irondale, Madison and Birmingham in Alabama; and Richland and Belden in Mississippi.

The Lilly Company will represent Manitou rough-terrain vertical-masted forklifts, semi-industrial vertical-masted forklifts, truck-mounted forklifts, multi-purpose telescopic handlers, and construction telescopic handlers.

"We look forward to building and growing this new partnership with The Lilly Company," says Eric Burkhammer, Manitou Americas vice president of sales and marketing. "Given The Lilly Company's large presence in the southeast, we are confident that they will provide the excellent sales, service, and parts support that the Manitou brand is known for."

Lilly's existing lines include Toyota, Linde, Doosan and Kalmar.
