To ensure the efficient advancement of its European operations, EPDAS has established a clear 2024 expansion roadmap:
Channel Localization
Establishing localized sales teams and after-sales service centers, collaborating with local European partners to shorten service response times and improve efficiency in order fulfillment and issue resolution;
Product Compliance
Continuously optimize product design and strictly adhere to industry regulations such as EU CE certification, EN safety standards, and Euro 5 emissions standards to ensure all equipment exported to Europe meets local regulatory requirements;
Systematized Service
Establish a regional spare parts distribution center in Europe to enable rapid spare parts supply, while forming a dedicated technical support team to provide full lifecycle operation and maintenance services;
Looking ahead, EPDAS will continue to closely monitor market dynamics in Europe, keep pace with regional trends in infrastructure, agriculture, and logistics, and continuously optimize its strategic layout, striving to become a trusted provider of telescopic handler forklift solutions for European customers.
