As part of the arrangement, Certex has been given Gunnebo Lifting’s top distributor status of Platinum for its “market-leading” chain systems, which include the recently launched Flexi-leg system.

Platinum status means that Certex will have full access to all Gunnebo Lifting products, some lines of which are reserved exclusively for Platinum distributors, and will also be able to pass on to its customers any special features or offers that are again only available to Platinum dealers.

Charles Gillespie, Certex sales and marketing director, said: “We are delighted to have formed this partnership with Gunnebo Industries. They are one of the world’s leading manufacturers of lifting equipment and are well known within the industry for quality and safety.”

He added: “Gunnebo is the UK’s leading brand for chain systems and we expect these products to be particularly popular with our customers, especially the Classic (grade 8) and GrabiQ (grade 10) series.”

The two companies will work together to arrange customer visits to the Gunnebo Lifting factories, and to provide free customer training and product demonstrations.

Michael Gough, managing director of Gunnebo Industries UK, said: “Certex has an unrivaled reputation within the UK lifting industry as a key supplier of quality products and services, and we are delighted to be able to add them to our select list of top ranking Platinum distributors.”
