“A mostly French show”

News Story - 16 Mar 2006
PARIS, France

Exhibitors at Manutention 2006 say the handling equipment tradeshow was a success but many maintain it was a "mostly French show". For Hyundai Heavy Industries Europe, the tradeshow was significant as the company announced a name change for its forklifts. "The previous type designations - HBF, HDF or HLF for the electric, diesel or gas forklifts - are being replaced with the general term Folex, which stands for 'Forklift Excellent'," Hyundai said in a statement. Hyundai marketing engineer Jan Coemans said Manutention remained a French exhibition. "Of course there is some international interest but you can't compare it with what CeMAT means to the international forklift world. Probably the international interest for Manutention would be a lot higher if it didn't follow CeMAT so fast. "But if you want to be seen in the French logistics market, Manutention, without a doubt, is the place to be," Coemans said. Hyundai unveiled its Folex 25BH-7 forklift with high-voltage battery drive at the show. For Doosan Infracore, European sales & marketing manager Daniel Vanhemelrijck, said the show was an important event for the company to boost brand recognition of Doosan, following Doosan group's purchase of a controlling stake in Daewoo Heavy Industries and Machinery in 2005 (Forkliftaction.com News #210). "We wanted to show our company's name change in one of the biggest markets in Europe. Visitor response was surprisingly good, despite our new name. From next year we will apply the Doosan name as a single brand on all our trucks," Vanhemelrijck said. He said the absence of Doosan Infracore's competitors, Jungheinrich, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Komatsu and TCM, initially made him think the show was less important than previous shows.
