Carlo Alberto Molesini, managing and sales director of Platform Basket, added, “With a view to developing international markets, we can confirm that Spain is somewhere we plan to focus all the attention it merits.

“We found that Elpavas has a similar approach and values to ours when it comes to the lifting platforms sector, and on this excellent basis, we’re happy to be working with them, putting everything in place to operate successfully on the Spanish market.”
