VDL ACQUIRES SMITS SPREADERS
VDL Groep of Eindhoven has taken over Smits Spreader Systems of Someren. Besides standard spreaders and rotators, Smits also develops and produces customised spreaders for specific types of handling. VDL Containersystemen develops, manufactures and markets systems for loading and unloading containers on/from lorries.
Of follow-up orders, the most demonstrative one says Liebherr was from the Iranian Ports and Shipping Organisation for one unit LHM 250, one unit LHM 320 and one unit LHM 400. With these three units PSO now has 27 Liebherr harbour mobile cranes in operation within its various terminals in the Iran.
Although the two companies operate in different markets, VDL says there are many common factors in the fields of development, manufacturing and purchasing.
