Forklift distributor Wajax is marking the 50th year of their business relationship with Hyster with a series of events across Canada as well as with the introduction of new warehouse products and the latest Class V internal combustion pneumatic forklifts.

Throughout the year, Hyster and Wajax have been celebrating their half-century association with special events, such as a golf tournament in Toronto, attended by Hyster-Yale Group Americas president Chuck Pascarelli, Wajax president and CEO Mark Foote and other senior executives of both companies; a day at the races at Northlands Park in Edmonton; a Toronto Blue Jays game for Wajax's Mississauga, Hamilton and Kitchener branches; and a food truck lunch by Le Smoking BBQ at Wajax's Laval facility.

"Hyster Company is proud of the strong, long-lasting relationship we have with Wajax and the way both companies have grown and prospered through working together for the past 50 years," says David Furman, president of sales and marketing at Hyster Company.

"We've been a leading supplier of high-quality products to the Canadian market, including best-in-class Hyster forklifts, for half a century," says Sajith Manikath, director, materials handling at Wajax. "The introduction of the new version of Class V forklifts this year gives us an even wider array of solutions to meet the needs of our customers."
