Doosan – IMHX 2016 – Exhibitor Profile
Doosan Industrial Vehicle UK is part of the $21bn global Doosan Corporation. We supply innovative, reliable forklift trucks with simple, powerful performance.
Our UK presence was established in 1994, firstly in Hinckley, before we moved, via Crick, to Northampton. Initially Daewoo forklifts were sold in the UK through Lex Harvey, the lift truck distributor.
After Finning bought Lex Harvey, we parted company with them and started our own operation (Euro Daewoo UK Ltd), making Daewoo trucks for sale here through our own dealer network.
We are perhaps best known for are our 2.5 tonne gas and diesel range in the UK (which account for around half of our UK truck sales).
Our UK range covers over 100 models in total, spanning 1.3-16 tonnes, electric, gas and diesel.
The UK is not only one of our largest export market outside of the US, it is also strategically important for sales in Europe (where we also have a base in Frameries, Belgium).
We have 58% of the domestic forklifts market in Korea, but 65% of our total forklift production is exported, to over 90 countries, and 40% comes to Europe.
IMHX is the largest meeting place for the UK’s logistics industry. Next month over 20,000 logistics and supply chain professionals will gather to evaluate cutting edge technologies, explore the latest industry solutions and discuss how to increase efficiencies within supply chain operations.
IMHX 2016 takes place at the NEC, Birmingham from 13th-16th September. Demand for stand space has been exceptional and IMHX 2016 will be the biggest and most comprehensive in the show’s history with over 400 exhibitors!
