Liftomatic Material Handling Inc., Buffalo Grove, Ill., a material-handling equipment manufacturer, announced the opening of Asian headquarters in the near future.
The move-in date is rapidly approaching for Liftomatic’s headquarters in Wuhan, China. Located in the Jiang-an district, which translates as “River Bank,” the city is conveniently located in central China. With over 10 million residents, Wuhan is the capital of Hubei province and is a banking, production, and transportation hub for much of the country and the region. The new offices will house sales, administration, and engineering, and accounting personnel for the company’s core staff in Asia. Celebrating 30 years in the Asia Pacific region in 2018, Liftomatic serves markets throughout all of Asia, the Indian sub-continent and the Middle East from their China location.
Todd Berg, Liftomatic’s chairman, commented on the expansion saying, “We had a very early start in developing the budding material handling market in China in the late 1980's. The growth and development in this region has quite honestly been staggering. We are excited to move into our new headquarters before mid-year and continue our mission to develop relationships and provide safe and profitable drum handling solutions to our customers as the region grows and matures further in the next 30 years."
