VETTER Forks has moved into a new 35,000 sqft. (3,250 sqm) facility in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania. 

The building is located within minutes of VETTER's previous 15,000 sqft. (1,400 sqm) location.

Marketing manager Kathrin Hein tells Forkliftaction News the move resulted from ongoing business growth which led to a need for "increased production, warehouse and office space".

"It is also a commitment to their long-term strategy in the North American market," she says.

The new facility has more warehouse space, an expanded modification centre and additional office space. With the addition of new equipment and increased stock, customers will benefit with shorter lead times and same-day shipping, Hein adds.

Headquartered in Burbach, Germany, VETTER has been active in the US since 1996.

VETTER Forks, Inc. was founded in 2006 and is a preferred supplier to OEMs and truck dealers in the US and Canada.
