Kalmar Corporation, the specialist provider of material handling equipment and services, and CES Srl, an Italian manufacturer of super-sized heavy-duty material handling equipment, have confirmed a new partnership.
The deal will see distribution and servicing of CES reachstacker units, which are over 125 tons, on a global basis. As part of the agreement, Kalmar will also provide training and support to its customers on CES products.

Until now, Kalmar’s current offering of reachstackers was limited to a 125 ton capacity upper limit, but this new partnership will allow the Helsinki-headquartered company to provide its customers with even larger sized equipment.
“We are excited to partner with CES to offer our customers a comprehensive range of heavy-duty material handling solutions. This partnership will enable us to better serve our customers especially in heavy logistics, such as wind energy, heavy bulk handling and heavy container handling industries,” confirmed Peter Olsson, Head of Global Sales of Counter Balanced Equipment at Kalmar.
“We are confident that our partnership with Kalmar will provide our customers with the best possible solutions for their heavy-duty material handling needs,” underlines Giovanni Bolcato, CEO of CES. “Kalmar’s global reach and expertise will enable us to reach new customers and markets, and we are excited to work together to drive innovation in the heavy-duty material handling industry.”
CES Srl, headquartered in Domegliara, Italy, specialises in the design and manufacture of traditional and super heavy reachstackers, which are unique on the market in lifting capacity and technology. Headquartered in Helsinki, Finland, Kalmar operates globally in over 120 countries.
