Crown wins arbitration, opens two Florida branches
  • Feature Article - 09 Dec 2004
  • DAYTON, OH, United States
An arbitrator has found that Florida Lift Systems Inc (FLS) violated its dealership agreement with Crown Equipment Corporation in representing Toyota's competing line of forklifts. Effective from November 1, Crown ended its authorisation for FLS to sell or service Crown products and opened two Crown-owned central Florida branches in Orlando and Tampa. Crown's Andre Lauber manages the two new branch locations. Each is about four miles from existing Orlando and Tampa sites where FLS continues to represent Toyota Material Handling USA (TMHU). Crown transferred Lauber back to central Florida from an assignment in Dallas, Texas. Both Crown and Toyota have major forklift dealership networks in the USA; Crown with 180 facilities, and Toyota with 186. FLS, a long-time Crown dealer, agreed to also represent TMHU in Tampa in January 2004. Previously, FLS started representing Irvine, California-based THMU in Orlando in September 2002. The full text of the story is continued online.
