Kalmar, part of Cargotec, has received an order of one Kalmar Electric Reachstacker and one Kalmar Eco reachstacker from Andersen & Mørck to their Borg Port facilities in Fredrikstad, Norway.

One of the key elements for us is also the good and reliable service organisation Kalmar is able to provide, as well as the quality we can trust.”
