Stärke expands in Canada

Material Handling Group has appointed Valley Lift and Les Enterprises Marcel Mal et Fils as new distributors of its material handling equipment. The companies will represent Stärke equipment in Okanagan Valley, BC, and Sainte Paul de Joliette, QC.

“Both Valley Lift and Les Enterprises Marcel Malo et Fils serve as a fitting addition to Stärke network of independent dealerships," said Jim Chesla, VP of sales and business development at Stärke. "With highly qualified staff, knowledgeable ownership and years of experience in the material handling industry, these additions help to ensure the continued growth of the Stärke brand in British Columbia and Quebec."

Located in West Kelowna, BC, Valley Lift Truck Services is a full serve forklift dealership offering sales, rentals, parts and repair throughout the Okanagan Valley.

Based out of Sainte Paul de Joliette, Les Enterprises Marcel Malo et Fils is the latest addition to Stärke’s dealership network in Quebec. Beginning in 1983 with one employee, a single service truck and a small garage, owner Marcel Malo now operates a full service dealership with 18 employees and over 360 rental units.

Both companies will offer the entire lineup of Stärke equipment.
