Mr. Mock explains: “Through the agreement with UST, Yale is establishing itself as the leading materials handling supplier in Russia by offering a full range of Class 1, 2, 3 and 5 products through an established network of regional dealers across the country.
 
Universal Spetstechnica LLC has taken the strategic decision to work with Yale to realise its future growth and business development plans.
 
Mr. Andrey Bunetskal, Dealer Principal at UST, comments: “The Russian market is becoming more sophisticated with customers demanding more technologically advanced materials handling products and materials handling solutions, particularly in the electric counterbalance and warehouse equipment categories. Yale’s full product offering allows UST to provide a comprehensive range of products to customers operating within an increasingly diverse range of materials handling applications.”
 
He adds: “Yale also offers the added benefit of the best short term rental, financing packages, after-sales service and parts support. We are delighted to be appointed as the exclusive Dealer for the Russian Federation.”
