Genavco (General Navigation and Commerce Company), a distributor of heavy equipment and commercial vehicles, has announced that its plant and equipment division is establishing a fully fledged workshop at its Abu Dhabi branch.

The company said it had been successful in increasing its market share in the UAE in 2001, particularly with regard to Crown forklift trucks that it had been marketing for the past 34 years. Crown offers a wide variety of electric battery powered material handling equipment ranging from hand pallet trucks, pedestrian stackers and counter-balanced trucks to reach trucks and VNA Trucks.

The division said there had been a number of repeat customers, one of them being Al Masa Distribution, which has warehousing logistics facilities in the Jebel Ali Free Zone and is an authorised Middle East distributor for recognisable products including those of Hewlett-Packard, Phillips, Axtor, ASUS, ATI and Microsoft.
