Impact Handling acquires Bendigo Mitchell

The acquisition brings the total number of wholly owned Impact branches across the UK to twelve, further supported by its seven dedicated dealer sites and a workforce of over 200 mobile technicians.

Bendigo Mitchell will now offer the full Impact premium brand product portfolio, led by the acclaimed Cat Lift Trucks range of material handling and warehouse equipment.

“The coming together of the businesses will result in a wider range of product choice, enhanced service support and greater value for Bendigo Mitchell’s customers as well as for other lift truck users across the midlands”, said outgoing Bendigo Mitchell MD Duncan Nealon.

Terry Kendrew, managing director of Impact Handling said: “We are excited to welcome Bendigo Mitchell into the Impact family and look forward to building on their excellence in customer service, now with the full backing of our nationwide support network, extensive product inventory and OEM parts supply. Strategically for Impact this consolidates our capability in the Midlands region and means we are now better placed than ever to support the needs of lift truck users in the area, no matter how large or small their fleet.”
