As a part of Combilift's 25th anniversary celebrations the Monaghan company announced that it is donating its 75,000th truck an Aisle Master articulated forklift to Convoy of Hope.
Combilift is the largest global manufacturer of multi-directional forklifts and an acknowledged leader in long-load handling solutions.
Combilift's CEO and Co-Founder Martin McVicar says the work that Convoy of Hope does is invaluable to relieve suffering around the world.
He said they wanted to make a contribution by donating our 75,000th truck to this very worthwhile charity.
Convoy uses forklifts to handle the thousands of pallets of relief supplies stored in the World Distribution Center every day. Since its start in 1994, Convoy has seen a consistent increase in demand for operational expansion and has increased warehouse capacity to accommodate the volume of supplies that are stored.
We are so grateful that Combilift, Martin, and the whole team have actually given us one of these trucks for our operations," said Convoy's Vice President of Supply Chain Erick Meier. "This is going to help people for years and ensure that every day someone in the world will receive aid - and that brings hope."
