Heli is officially Down Under, after the global material handling vehicle manufacturer opened its state-of-the-art warehouse in Sydney in July.
“For more than 20 years, Heli’s products have crossed the ocean to Australia, deeply cultivating this market,” Anhui Forklift Group President and special guest Anguo Yang said. “Not only does Australia have an open business market but a gathering of outstanding talents and infinite innovative potential from all over the world.
“This year marks the 10th anniversary of the establishment of the comprehensive strategic partnership between China and Australia and the 66th anniversary of Heli”. The grand opening in Australia marks an exciting new chapter for both the company, and its local dealers who were thrilled with the warehouse.
“What that means for us is quicker access to more equipment and supplies, which means we can support our customers much better,” North Coast Forklifts Director Rohan Driver said.
“We can also effectively provide warranty repairs and technical service … having that available to us in Australian working hours is definitely a clear benefit.”
Room to move
Heli’s Sydney warehouse sits at a sizeable 3,217sqm in size, with the total site measuring about 6560sqm.
With plenty of large access areas and space, it sits as a quality spot for Heli’s many forklifts and large material handling vehicles.
Rohan wasn’t the only Heli dealer attending the opening, with other dealers from across the country rolling into the Wetherill Park-based site.
This included Allied Forklifts Managing Director Wayne Adams, who said the new warehouse was an exciting new chapter for both his business and Heli.
“Hopefully, our partnership will only get stronger,” he said.
“This will have good implication for local support.”
