Dutch forklift components supplier Van Gent Forklift Parts (VGFP), has reached an agreement with ATIB in Italy, to become its official distributor.

VGFP sales and purchase manager David Lam said the agreement, which will be effective on February 1, was reached after VGFP personnel visited ATIB's factory in Dello from January 19 to January 20.

"VGFP will exclusively sell the complete ATIB range," Lam said. "Side-shifts, paper roll clamps, integrated fork positioners, rotating clamps and multi-pallet clamps are among the ATIB attachments VGFP will sell."

"Van Gent Forklift Parts is expanding its parts program to a level which is demanded by the market. The ATIB product range will be an added value for our customers in the Benelux," he added.

Benelux refers to the countries Belgium, Netherlands and Luxembourg.

ATIB, which is based in Dello, Italy, produces forklift attachments and masts.
