Clark Europe has appointed Moroccan port handling equipment supplier Techniplus as its dealer in North Africa.

Under the agreement, Techniplus will offer the complete Clark range of forklifts and warehouse trucks, as well as Clark spare parts and accessories.

A comprehensive range of services including rental and financing as well as a comprehensive technical service for new and used Clark industrial trucks will round off the range of services.

"With Techniplus, we can welcome a very experienced partner with in-depth expertise in the logistics sector to our team," says Rolf Eiten, president and chief executive officer Clark Europe.

Techniplus, founded in 1991 in Casablanca, is owned by Malta-based Motherwell Bridge Industries.

Its customer base includes operators of the largest Moroccan ports in Casablanca, Tangier, Agadir and Jorf Lasfar, as well as well-known companies from the industrial, steelworks and mining sectors.

Techniplus offers its customers a comprehensive range of services, including sales, rental, spare parts and lifetime maintenance and repair services.

The company also offers sales, rental, spare parts and repair services in Mauritania, Senegal, Tunisia and Algeria.

"Our cooperation with Clark Europe is a significant milestone for Techniplus,” says Techniplus managing director Amine Rfiqi.

“It enables us to expand our product offering and provide our customers with reliable and innovative industrial trucks.”
