It’s always interesting to discover ‘new’ materials handling manufacturers, as we do this week with Up Lifting from Spain. Clearly, as the market expands, players come and go - and generally, we only notice the departures. Many new entrants don’t begin trading with a bang. They simply win a few orders and start growing from there.
If there are any undiscovered businesses out there, please contact us and become known.
