HANZA signs strategic agreement with Rocla
HANZA Holding AB (publ) has signed an agreement with the materials handling company Rocla to supply parts for their new generation of electronic forklifts, designed and assembled by Rocla. The parts are to be produced in HANZA’s Cluster Baltics.
- HANZA has a broad offering in their cluster Baltics which suits us very well, says Simo Kangastupa, Sourcing Director in Rocla. That is why we selected HANZA as a major partner for our next generation forklifts.
Rocla is a Finland-based international materials handling company which has grown considerably in its 75 years of operation and has become a major developer and manufacturer of electric warehouse trucks, forklifts and automated guided vehicles (AGV). Rocla is the only Finnish forklift truck manufacturer and has research and development and production operations located in Järvenpää, Finland.
HANZA has signed an agreement for manufacturing of electrical panels, contactor assemblies and cable harnesses for the new generation forklifts and deliveries will start up immediately in HANZAs Cluster Baltics and will be fully operational during fourth quarter 2018.
- Rocla is a strategic customer, says Emöke Sogenbits, Cluster President HANZA Baltics, we can use our unique manufacturing concept, covering different technologies such as sheet metal, machining, cable harnesses and assembly to supply Rocla on a part level.
