Doosan has appointed Mexmast as its new forklift distributor in West Sussex.

Doosan Industrial Vehicles' UK director Tim Waples says Mexmast will make "a strong addition" to the company's dealer portfolio. "They have a wealth of experience dealing with large companies and a long, established stability to the business."

Mexmast operations director Darren Baldwin says the company has found a partner that matches its own ambition. "The strength of Doosan and its success in the market has become increasingly difficult to ignore and being in a position of strength ourselves, we felt the time was right to make this exciting move."

Doosan dealer manager Jason Jordan believes the addition of a new distributor will lead to further expansion of the Doosan brand.

"Mexmast has great experience in the forklift industry and will provide a unique platform for Doosan. Darren and the team have a real commitment to being the best in the industry. Team this with a great understanding of client requirements and their ability to work with the latest product innovations, and you have the qualities that are essential for us in continuing to grow our business," Jordan says.

Based in Burgess Hill, West Sussex, family-owned Mexmast is one of the largest independent forklift companies in the UK's south-east, supplying new and used forklifts.
