What a year 2020 has been! Floods, fires and cyclones were all dwarfed by the impact of COVID-19, with the effects felt everywhere - from Algeria to Russia, Canada to Iceland, and all points in-between.
Materials handling has fared better than most industries, but there have been significant financial losses, and people have lost their jobs in almost every market.
We look forward to better things in 2021 - and already there are many positive signs, as we report in this week's news feature.
All of us at Forkliftaction would like to thank you for your support in the past year and hope that you will be back with us in the year ahead.
Best wishes for a healthy, happy and prosperous 2021 - and only pleasant surprises!

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!
