Kalmar makes commitment to South Africa

Edwin Briggeman has been appointed head of the new company and is in charge of overseeing the ongoing deliveries of the straddle carriers ordered by South African Port Operations (SAPO). Located in the new Durban office, he will also be responsible for the start-up of the new company and the further development of customer relations with SAPO. Aman Kumkaran has been appointed Technical Manager in Durban.

African National Engineering (ANE) continues as Kalmar’s service partner for straddle carriers and RTG cranes in major ports such as Durban, Richards Bay, and Cape Town.

Other Kalmar products, for example reachstackers and lift trucks, will continue to be sold through existing partner Saficon.
