Joe George, Genie managing director - Europe, Africa and the Middle East said: “Today, more than 40 percent of the equipment produced for our customers in Europe, the Middle East, Africa is manufactured locally and we plan to increase this.

"Designed and produced in Europe for Europe, the GS-4047 scissor lift is a compact machine combining the benefits of increased working height with compact dimensions for indoor applications in confined spaces. High demand for this particular model illustrates the success of our company’s local market responsiveness.”

“Joining the resources of two Terex business segments has worked extremely well,” added Neal Nowick, general manager Terex, Coventry. “The Genie GS-4047 lift is a niche model, and reaching 1,000 units in less than 18 months is a result that speaks for itself.”
