Holidays 2023

Tuesday 19 December 2023
Christmas is once again upon us and so we celebrated it last Thursday together with all the people working at M.J. van Riel & Van Riel Forklifts, as well as our retired former employees. Laughing together, reminiscing and eating delicious food during our traditional Christmas market and then also receiving a voucher where we could put together our own Christmas gift. Those were the highlights of this evening.

We can look back on another beautiful and eventful year with growth in the number of clients and great assignments. This is only possible because of the tireless efforts of our staff and the good delivery of work. From requests from the customers to handling and planning the materials with the people, maintaining our materials and putting together the tools, everyone did their bit. Our employees make this company what it is today.

We also invested again last year, from new electric mini-cranes and Pick & Carry cranes, tower cranes, new trucks with or without truck-mounted crane to new trailers. But also expansion of our site in Tilburg with a fixed tower crane to the long-cherished SPMTs Scheuerle, lifting and, tamping materials and training for our (operational) employees. All this to make M.J. van Riel future-proof and meet the ever-stricter requirements in legislation, regulations and environmental requirements.

Van Riel Forklifts does not stand still either; they have been the importer of Doosan forklifts in the Netherlands for many years. From 1 January 2024, the “Doosan Industrial Vehicle” brand name will come under the Bobcat umbrella. The models will remain the same, but will come in a new look and with a different (familiar) logo.

On behalf of M.J. van Riel, Van Riel Forklifts and M.J. van Riel Shop, we thank our customers for their trust. We found it a pleasant cooperation based on mutual trust.

Happy holidays and a prosperous but above all healthy new year.
