Solutions for the Fishing Industry
STILL presents forklift trucks and warehouse technology for the requirements of the fishing industry at the Norwegian trade fair Aqua Nor.
Norway is one of the largest fishing nations worldwide, a country of enormous sea areas rich in fish with a lot of industrial fishing. Biologists established gigantic fish farms here that export fish into the whole world. Not surprisingly, it is here that once a year the largest exhibition for fishing technology takes place. Since 1979, the Aqua Nor in Trondheim has focused on innovative technologies for fishing. The trade fair is known as one of the most important international venue of the fishing industry.
From the 15th till the 18th of August almost 600 exhibitors from all over the world present their current portfolio of solutions at the Trondheim trade fair grounds – among them STILL. Ever since the founding of the Norwegian subsidiary STILL Norge in September 2016, STILL has successfully expanded their presence in this important Scandinavian market.
The focus of the STILL trade fair booth is on forklift trucks and warehouse technology especially equipped for the requirements of the fishing industry. For instance, the electric forklift RX 20, which is on exhibition there, has a special coating to protect it from the harsh weather conditions at sea. Bolts made of stainless high-grade steel and the use of a specialised hydraulic oil are more examples for measures STILL takes to properly equip industrial trucks for hunting big fish. “The Aqua Nor is a great platform for STILL. Many of our customers come together here for a whole week, which is an ideal chance to meet them personally and to expand our business relations,” explains Knut Sigve the importance of the trade fair for STILL to Brown Andersen from the STILL Norge marketing team.
