Clark Europe in the red for first time
Created 12/22/2009, 12:11:28 pm
Company CEO
Egon Strehl told Logistiek.nl that although the company has recorded a pre-tax
loss of over EUR200,000 (USD291,225), he predicts the forklift market will
recover next year and the company can expect a 33% rise in sales and a
EUR850,000 (USD1,238,182) profit in 2010.
Strehl
added that despite 2009 being a loss-making year so far, Clark Europe had actually
increased its marketshare "by a few percentage points".
"We
have achieved this by opening new sales channels in regions where we used to be
less active," he explained, referring to so-called 'white spots'
(elsewhere known as 'black spots') in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
Clark
Europe aims to continue increasing its marketshare in 2010 by attracting new
dealers and putting its sales representatives and dealers through a four-week
training program at the Clark Academy.
