Boral Selects Linde for Material Handling Equipment
Boral Limited has begun taking delivery of the first of 550 forklifts under a landmark contract awarded to equipment handling specialist Linde. Boral is Australia’s largest building and construction material supplier. The supply agreement includes a combination of equipment purchase and operating leases over three, five and seven years. Boral began its tender discussions with a list of 13 potential suppliers before finalizing the deal with Linde. The multi-million dollar contract is expected to reduce Boral’s material handling overheads over the next three years.
Boral produces and distributes building products, including clay bricks and pavers, clay and concrete roof tiles, concrete masonry products, plasterboard, windows, formwork and scaffolding and timber. The recent decision to select Linde follows an exhaustive nine-month review of Boral’s needs and available equipment.
