A new fully integrated handling and storage business will provide the most comprehensive product and service offering in the sector. It has been forged by joining two well-established independent companies into a single operation under the new brand of Altegra Integrated Solutions.
Midlands-based Amvar Handling Solutions Limited and Lift West Limited, which is located near to Taunton have in the past 3 years, both been acquired by the Dunstall Holdings Group. Now the strengths of both companies have combined with the intention of creating a stronger market presence with the coverage, expertise, resources and product mix that exceeds anything currently available in the sector on a national level.
Reinforced with new investment, ambitious plans are now in position to establish Altegra as the only end-to-end handling and storage solutions provider that can meet every aspect of customer need from a single source, with the focus on generating greater value and economy for the customer.
At the core of the offer is an impressive line-up of industry-leading brands including TCM, Flexi, Combilift, Hako and Genie. Its expanded product range includes forklifts, handling equipment, storage and racking systems and other specialised equipment with together with mezzanine flooring, access and security systems and virtually any piece of equipment required to support any distribution or manufacturing operation.
Altegra has the investment, strategy and product line-up to shake up the sector through its independent-business approach and ability to bring together the most comprehensive selection of products. Its expert project management skills and a track record in delivering complex, turn-key solutions also set it aside from rivals in the sector.
Group Managing Director, Steve Petford explained that Altegra will be a positive force for change, providing value-adding solutions that are customer driven.” Instead of customers being shoehorned to limited supplier led options, the solutions and equipment possibilities we can provide are infinite, everything a customer might need.
This includes equipment rental, staff training and much more.
