Liftket establishes Italian subsidiary

Liftket has expanded its international operations with the establishment of a subsidiary in Italy. The new entity, Liftket Italy, will be led by Raffaele Fantelli as chief executive officer, who will oversee both market activities and sourcing operations within the Liftket Group.

The Liftket Group, which manufactures electric chain hoists, has approximately 340 employees across nine locations worldwide. The German company provides a range of standard and customised lifting solutions with load capacities from 125 to 25,000 kg. Its portfolio includes three brands—Liftket, Moveket and Chainmaster—focusing on high-quality and innovative products for precise load handling.

In a statement, the company says it aims to enhance its market presence, streamline supply chains and support innovation across its business areas.

Jürgen Dlugi, chief executive officer of the Liftket Group, says: “Italy has always been an important market for us. With our own subsidiary, we can offer even better service and solutions tailored to the needs of our Italian customers. At the same time, the strategic reorganisation of our sourcing activities under Raffaele Fantelli’s leadership will contribute to the long-term success of the entire group.”

Fantelli adds: “I am thrilled to take on this challenge and further establish Liftket as a key player in Italy. Our focus will be on delivering high-quality solutions and strengthening our sourcing strategy to create even greater value for our customers and partners.”
