Bridgeview, IL May 20, 2004 - Schaeff Lift Truck, Inc. announced today the decision to open a component manufacturing operation in Bulgaria.

 

The manufacturing unit will operate under the name of SL Industries, and will be 100% owned by Schaeff Lift Truck Inc. SL Industries will fabricate and machine parts and components for the production of Schaeff line in the US.

 

Having one of the broadest product lines of electric forklift trucks this expansion will lead to better quality and will address the need for faster response to customers’ specification and delivery requirements.

 

Schaeff Lift Truck Inc. will invest $500,000 by the end of 2004 in the new venture. The company plans to make SL Industries operational later this summer.
