Carer and HKS Fördertechnik AG Announce Strategic Partnership for the Distribution of Electric Forklifts in Switzerland and Liechtenstein
Carer, a global leader in high-capacity electric forklifts, is expanding its commercial footprint in Switzerland and Liechtenstein through a strategic partnership with HKS Fördertechnik AG: an established, locally rooted company and a long-standing reference point for industrial handling solutions.
Switzerland has long stood out as one of the most dynamic markets in the European industrial-handling landscape: a highly diversified production ecosystem spanning chemical, pharmaceutical, food and high-value manufacturing companies that demand reliable, sustainable and high-performance solutions. Within this context, Carer sees a clear growth opportunity for its high-capacity electric technologies, choosing to collaborate with a partner capable of precisely interpreting local requirements.
That response takes shape from Q4 2025 through HKS Fördertechnik AG, an estabilished Swiss company with more than 40 years of experience, deep territorial expertise and a service philosophy that naturally aligns with Carer’s values.
A Partnership Built on Technical Expertise
Carer’s expansion into Switzerland and Liechtenstein finds an ideal counterpart in HKS Fördertechnik AG: a company that blends deep local roots with industrial vision and a comprehensive service infrastructure. With a team of around 70 professionals operating across the region, HKS supports customers daily across a wide range of logistics and industrial sectors. From sales to multibrand maintenance, spare parts, special projects and fully customised solutions, the organization covers the entire lifecycle of every machine.
The strength of HKS Fördertechnik AG is rooted in a long history of official dealerships and technical partnerships, demonstrating solid expertise, reliability and a consistent focus on quality. It is an approach that aligns perfectly with Carer’s philosophy: placing people at the centre, building transparent relationships, and ensuring operational continuity through technologies that respect the environment while enhancing efficiency.
Thanks to this partnership, the Swiss and Liechtenstein markets now have direct access to the full Carer range: high-capacity electric forklifts designed for complex production environments, for handling sensitive materials, and for operations that demand top performance while maintaining zero emissions, low noise levels and controlled operating costs. The widespread local presence, combined with the technical expertise of the HKS team, ensures continuous support, fast response times and advisory services capable of guiding customers toward the configuration best suited to their application.
