Forkliftaction.com News was the first to report the troubles at Spanish forklift manufacturer Mecano Continental, and we have been following the developments for some months. It has been a difficult process, with the company failing to provide any information to us - or, indeed, to its distributors and customers.

And in another development, some of Mecano's engineering expertise will return to the market after a former engineer established a new rough-terrain forklift company and is set to launch his new forklifts soon.

These releases in Forkliftaction are a nice experience for SNDC... We got seven inquiries coming from Canada, USA, Mexico, Israel and Australia (five from retailers, two from machines manufacturers) and we are still in contact with them. I can state that's a success story!
