Malcolm Early, vice president of marketing at Skyjack said, “This year’s Bauma China was a great opportunity for us to strengthen our position and show our competitive edge to the Asia market.

“We couldn’t miss the opportunity to participate in such a high-profile exhibition,” Early said. “In the coming year, we will continue to expand our presence in Asia especially China and strive to provide first-rate service to our clients in the region,” said Early.
