Masslift Africa has strengthened its relationship with Cashbuild with the delivery of its 200th forklift. The event marked a major milestone for Masslift Africa as it strives to develop long-term relationships with customers like Cashbuild.

"In 2012, Cashbuild gave Masslift Africa an opportunity to supply a new Mitsubishi forklift and prove our service infrastructure," says Masslift Africa sales director Marco Caverni. "Five years later, we have just delivered our 200th Mitsubishi forklift to our biggest customer."

Werner de Jager, Cashbuild chief executive, says he is looking forward to seeing the 300th forklift delivered. "Cashbuild's ethos is to assist developing our suppliers while building long-term relationships. The relationship between Masslift Africa and Cashbuild is a perfect example of this. We are very happy with the quality of the equipment supplied and the service infrastructure and footprint Masslift has been able to offer."

To commemorate the milestone, Masslift created a custom spray design that incorporates the Cashbuild branding together with the 200th forklift design.

The 200th Mitsubishi forklift was handed over to Cashbuild as it launched its new store in Roodekop, Germiston.
