Nexen Lift Trucks is in talks to acquire a manufacturing plant, a move which will see the UK company assembling the Nexen range of forklifts in the UK. A spokesman for Nexen Lift Trucks said this acquisition "will enable us to have greater control over design and production, and is in line with our current expansion program, which will actively increase Nexen's global presence, ensuring continuity in supply for our expanding network of dealers worldwide". Plans for launching Nexen's new model range will also be progressed much faster, and the company will embark on a recruiting drive for staff from other areas of the lift truck industry.
