2018 proved to be a big year for MLA Holdings Pty Ltd (MLA). Already one of Australia\u2019s most established and renowned <\/span>forklift<\/span><\/a> suppliers, last year the company expanded not just to one market, but four: Gold Coast, Newcastle, Central Coast and the Hunter Region. <\/span><\/p>\n

The first of these markets was the Gold Coast, where MLA purchased local business Classic Forklifts, which began trading as Classic MLA from July 2018. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cClassic Forklifts and MLA are a perfect fit for the Gold Coast,\u201d said Richard Smith, Business\u00a0<\/span>Development Manager at Classic MLA. \u201cClassic brings a strong local presence and a good\u00a0<\/span>understanding of Gold Coast business needs, and MLA has the experience and strength as the\u00a0<\/span>national distributor of Mitsubishi Forklifts.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

MLA Continues To Expand<\/span><\/h2>\n

Just a few short months later, in November 2018, MLA announced their expansion into the Newcastle, Hunter and Central Coast region with the purchase of two long-established forklift businesses. <\/span><\/p>\n

The acquisition of Hunter Liftrucks and Inglis Equipment from owner Ray Inglis took effect November 1st, and the combined entities began trading in the region as Hunter MLA.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHunter Liftrucks, Inglis Equipment and MLA are a perfect fit for the Newcastle, Hunter and Central Coast Region,\u201d said Geoff Marshall, Sales Manager at Hunter MLA.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cBoth Hunter Liftrucks and Inglis Equipment bring a strong local presence and a good understanding of the area\u2019s business needs, and MLA has the experience and strength as the national distributor and rental provider of Mitsubishi Forklifts.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Overall, local customers will deal with the same friendly and professional teams they have always known, while gaining access to a wider range of products and services.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
