Where do we get our news? Forkliftaction.com News has reporters around the world, but most of our news comes from our readers. Some of it is initiated by suppliers, through media releases and notifications, some of it is the result of our research efforts and market contacts, but many valuable tips come to us either via our Discussion Forum or from direct contacts. And we’re not just talking about factory closures or looming mergers and acquisitions. We also like to hear about end-user successes or challenges, industry innovation or sometimes even the less weighty stuff, like people with enormous model collections. So, if there’s something that you find interesting, chances are that other readers will also benefit from this, and we invite you to let us know by emailing us your tips and suggestions.
