Roberto Santoro, Rocla's new AGV sales manager in Benelux

Finnish automatic guided vehicle (AGV) manufacturer Rocla has opened a new sales office in Benelux in a move to strengthen its AGV business.

Roberto Santoro, the new AGV sales manager in Benelux, says Rocla sees tremendous growth potential in warehouse automation. "Rocla's AGV solutions give customers flexible and cost-effective ways of handling routine tasks in warehouses.

"Now we can offer customers local consultations to meet their most demanding automation needs," he adds.

Rocla has been developing AGV systems since 1983 and has delivered almost 8,000 vehicles to more than 1,000 customers.

Rocla introduced the world's first serially manufactured automated warehouse truck a year ago and received the AGVS Award in October last year for its AGV's innovation and usability (Forkliftaction.com News#380).
