Following the success of the Cascade-KOOI joint venture, Cascade Corporation and Meijer Handling Solutions B.V. are expanding their cooperation by entering into a distribution agreement for Meijer's KOOI line of products throughout the Asia Pacific region.

"We're excited to strengthen our offerings and reach more customers in this region," says Steve Keller, business development manager - Asia Pacific at Cascade. "With Cascade's extensive distribution capability in the Asia Pacific, we'll be able to provide even more solutions to people where they need them, when they need them."

Cascade boasts a strong, local presence in Asia Pacific countries, including a distribution network that provides customers with a wide range of materials handling solutions.

The new distribution agreement with Meijer includes Cascade's locations in China, South Korea, Japan, India, and New Zealand.

"This expansion in distribution is a great opportunity for customers throughout the Asia Pacific," says Folkert de Graaf, international sales and marketing manager of Meijer Handling Solutions. "KOOI products are a popular solution due to their versatility, ease of use, and capacity to increase efficiency. People are going to find them valuable tools and we look forward to providing those solutions."

Forkliftaction's JOB MARKET

It’s the year 2000. You’re in front of a boxy beige desktop waiting for the screeching ramblings of your dial-up to reach its finale. You go to Yahoo!, MSN, or maybe AOL, and start the mind-numbing process of finding your very specific needle in the digital haystack. And with web pages loading one image at a time, patience isn’t just a virtue – it’s a requirement!

As clumsy as this early iteration seems now, this technology was the great enabler that allowed Forkliftaction to connect to the industry across the globe.  

To everyone who has connected with Forkliftaction in the past 25 years, thank you for your contribution to our success! We feel deeply touched by your words of encouragement.
