Clark opens new plant in Kentucky
Clark has completed the expansion of its production facility in Lexington, Kentucky. With the completion of the third plant section, the company has finalized the realignment of its production line for S-Series IC engine-powered counterbalanced trucks.
Seung-Soo Baik, CEO & Vice Chairman of Clark Material Handling International, traveled from Korea for the opening ceremony and cut the ribbon together with Dennis Lawrence, President & CEO of Clark Material Handling Company, for the symbolic start of production. "With the inauguration of our new production facility, we have not only paved the way for future growth, but it has also helped us to improve our overall operations, reduce waste and shorten lead times," explained Dennis Lawrence during the ceremony. With the third plant section, covering an area of 18,000 square meters, the company is responding to the growing demand for electric and IC engine-powered forklifts.
The Lexington site is now able to manufacture almost 80 percent of Clark products for the US market. The current plant expansion is already the third at the Lexington site in four years. Clark recently opened a new R&D/Engineering Center in the USA in 2017.
Clark Material Handling Company opened its first headquarters in the Bluegrass State of Kentucky in 1974. In 1985, the company moved its headquarters to its current location in Lexington. The product range for the US market includes a complete range of electric and IC engine-powered counterbalanced trucks as well as narrow-aisle forklifts, warehouse technology and a range of services. as
