Hytsu forklifts being loaded for delivery to Cuba

Hytsu Group has begun the new year positively, after filling a significant order for a Cuban textile company.

The Chinese-based materials handling company delivered 34 electric forklifts to Teco Textile Company on January 19. The textile manufacturer will use the forklifts in its warehouse.

A Hytsu spokesperson says that in these times of economic crisis, this order reflects the excellent relationship the company has with Cuba.

Hytsu has plans to launch a range of new products this year and expand its market.

"In 2009, Hytsu will launch new 1.5- to 1.8-tonne S100 series IC forklifts, a new 4- to 5-tonne S100 series IC forklift and a new 2- to 3-tonne cushion tyre truck for the American market," the spokesperson says. "Hytsu will seek opportunities in the Middle East, Russia and Brazil."
