Finnish manufacturer of market-defining spider lifts and part of the Avant Group,
Leguan Lifts, has announced a €10 million investment in a new production facility that will significantly expand the company's manufacturing capabilities.
The sister company of Avant Tecno says it is confident that the new facility in Ylöjärvi, Finland, will support its long-term growth strategy, allowing it to improve operational efficiency, increase output capacity and strengthen its ability to serve expanding global demand.
“We’re proud to see Leguan Lifts – and in turn, the
Avant Group – grow with this fantastic investment. Their new state-of-the-art facility will ensure customers around the world continue to benefit from Leguan’s product range and we can’t wait to see the new facility in operation” says Raimo Ala-Korpi, managing director of Avant Tecno UK.
Leguan Lifts specialises in designing and manufacturing reliable, technologically-advanced and off-road-capable self-propelled access platforms.
Unlike standard access platforms, Leguan’s spider lifts are engineered to tackle challenging terrain with outstanding stability, making them a safe, easy-to-use solution for construction, plant hire, facilities management and more.
As its latest innovation, Leguan has launched a fully electric alternative to its standard diesel range, delivering the same speed and performance while reducing emissions and operating costs.
Due to their many benefits, the demand for Leguan’s machinery has grown exponentially in recent years, and the Finnish company aims to meet increasing customer demand through its new production facility and expanded assembly stations.
“The additional production space will allow Leguan to substantially increase the number of machines it manufactures. This is great news for our UK market, where its dealer network has already embraced the Avant Group's Finnish engineering and will be eager to offer customers even greater access to Leguan's innovative all-terrain access platforms” adds Mr Ala-Korpi.
Going forward, Leguan Lifts plans to expand the site even further by constructing a new showroom and modern office spaces.
The new showroom will allow Leguan to improve customer relationships, organise training and host events right at the heart of production.
“The investment marks another exciting milestone for not only Leguan Lifts, but the Avant Group as a collective. Everyone at Avant Tecno UK is looking forward to visiting the new factory ahead of the scheduled launch!” Mr Ala-Korpi concludes.
