Anhui Forklift Group, which produces Heli forklifts, has announced that it has exported 5% more forklifts for the first half of 2013 than it did in the same period last year.

The group says it has "perfected" its overseas marketing network and developed new high- and middle-end products, which are popular with foreign customers.

Marketing manager Fancy Xu Fang says new products that are popular include the G series 2-3.5T engine and electric counterbalance forklifts, 1-2T electric pallet stackers and paper roll clamps

"In recent years, relying on the national-level enterprise technological centre (in Hefei), Anhui Forklift Group [has] developed and manufactured [the] H2000 series of forklifts ... and energy-saving, eco-friendly G series of forklifts successively through [the] introduction, adoption and innovation of advanced technologies."

Anhui Forklift Group sold 41,969 forklifts in the first six months of 2013. For the month of March, forklift sales surpassed 10,000 units. The company attributes the high forklift sales to its investment in research and development, and its sales network and product offering in China and overseas.

Xu Fang tells Forkliftaction.com News that over 70 agents distribute Heli forklifts worldwide.
