Irish exporter of the year
The Irish Exporters Association (IEA) named Combilift as the Exporter of the Year 2015 at the Export Industry Awards which were held recently in Dublin. Combilift scooped the overall Exporter of the Year Award 2015 after also winning the Multinational Exporter of the Year Award category earlier in the evening. Combilift won the same accolade in 2008 as an SME.
Combilift developed the world's first IC engine-powered all-wheel-drive multidirectional forklift and today exports its wide range of handling products to over 75 countries. Sales in the period from 2012 to 2014 rose by 48%, underlining the company’s almost unprecedented success in its industry sector.
Speaking at the Awards Ceremony, Hugh Kelly, President of the Irish Exporters Association said: “The standard of Award entrants this year was higher than ever before but our judges were struck by the energy, ability and ambition of Combilift’s management and employees to deliver strong results, year after year.”
