– Customer Day at VETTER Industrie GmbH

Hagaberg had the honor of being one of the exhibitors at VETTER, celebrating an impressive 135 years in business and 60 years of dedicated commitment to fork development.

The day in Burbach, Germany…

…was filled with inspiring lectures, valuable meetings, and a dynamic exhibition, all under the umbrella of safe and efficient material handling. Exciting product demonstrations, with VETTER’s SmartFork® leading the way, consistently impresses with intelligent programs and solutions.

At the Hagaberg exhibition stand, we were delighted to host lively networking around our innovative C-series positioner and our relatively newly launched attention-grabber – the OQT automatic quick coupler system for forklift trucks.

We are thrilled to expand the capacity of our design department and maintain an ideal balance between engineering and Research/Development. Roy’s entry as Design Engineer will aid us in continuing to develop innovative and complex solutions matching the rate of the company’s growth and expanding product range. This is particularly important considering our ongoing partnerships, such as OilQuick® and Cebriá, and the expanding range of applications our products support.

With a solid background as a project engineer in construction and extensive experience working closely on customer-specific adaptations, Roy checks all the boxes to become a valuable asset in his new role at Hagaberg.

“At Hagaberg, I look forward to focusing on pure engineering and mechanics, as well as meticulously refining the final product. Fork positioners may seem like a rather limited product, but they actually hold immense potential for variation and development. This became clear to me during my very first visits here.” – Roy Öhlin

Hagaberg strengthens its presence in Denmark and Norway and proudly presents the recruitment of Michael Barslund. With an inspiring lifelong technical interest and a background in technical sales, he takes on the role of Area Sales Manager.

Michael Barslund has extensive experience in sales of forklift trucks, and hydraulic and mechanical components. Mechanical knowledge, technical interest, and a teaching role led to technical sales where he found his passion for understanding technical details and building strong business relationships.

“The market in Denmark and Norway has great potential for Hagaberg to expand within. I see a strong presence in the Swedish market, and I believe in establishing the same foothold here. That’s the vision.” – Michael Barslund, Regional Manager.

He believes in the company’s vision to further strengthen its presence in the Nordic countries and is ready for the growth journey. He emphasizes Hagaberg’s priority of the highest quality and functionality in its fork positioners as one of the main reasons he sees the strong potential. It gladens us that he also highlights encountering a personal atmosphere and strong internal relationships. “This is particularly valuable for me as I often work remotely from HQ. Having a close connection to the team,” he concludes.

Hagaberg was exhibiting at LogiMAT in Stuttgart, Germany – Europe’s largest trade fair for logistics and material handling. At our stand, visitors could discover an innovative solution for hydraulic fork positioners and other types of attachments, developed through our partnership with OilQuick®.

At the heart of our presentation was OQT, an advanced quick coupler system for forklift trucks, available in various models suitable for machines ranging from 1 to 9 tons. With lightning-fast hydraulic and mechanical attachment changes, including fork positioners, paper roll clamps, and rotators, OQT ensures that you are always equipped for the task, while reducing the risks of injuries associated with manual changes.

The OQT system will not only make your forklift truck but also your company more flexible, competitive, and cost effective.
