Narrow Aisle Ltd has announced a significant investment in the USA and Canada as it seeks to further develop the global distribution of its Flexi range of articulated warehouse trucks.

From its current hub in Dallas, Texas, Narrow Aisle has been developing US sales and after-sales support for the Flexi range for over 20 years. During this time, Flexi has become established as a leading articulated forklift brand across the USA.

John Maguire, managing director of Narrow Aisle Ltd, says North America has long been one of the most important markets for Narrow Aisle's range of articulated lift trucks. "With US-based third party and fulfilment logistics operators increasingly challenged to make maximum use of the storage area they have available and reduce labour costs, we see huge potential to grow sales of the Flexi design even further in the future."

Narrow Aisle's Flexi has become a world-renowned brand, with an extensive range of products and over 10,000 machines supplied to users in more than 65 countries.

Last week, Narrow Aisle announced the appointment of Steve Astbury as the new head of strategic development as part of the North American push.
