LGMG North America will move its corporate headquarters to Dallas following disappointing tariff changes.
According to the company, the decision to move the headquarters came after the U.S. Department of Commerce made the decision last fall to alter tariff rates for mobile elevating work platform (MEWP) equipment. Since higher tariffs were placed on some Chinese manufacturers, LGMG has been working on its restructuring strategy. The company is focusing on strengthening its aftermarket product support and expanding Canadian operations.
The company will be relocating its corporate headquarters to Dallas later this year. Additionally, the company has been consolidating warehouse operations to eliminate unnecessary overhead and will be relocating its parts and service support operations to the new corporate headquarters.
“Centralizing and combining our aftermarket operations strengthens our customer support and makes good business sense," Eric Liner, LGMG president and CEO said.
Additionally, LGMG has recently opened two new Canadian warehouse operations, one in Vancouver, British Columbia and the other, in partnership with its distribution partner, Cisolift, near Montreal in St-Germain-de-Grantham, Quebec. Both operations provide direct access to the largest markets in Canada and position the company to support its Canadian customers.
“We have aligned ourselves with a great partner in eastern Canada, Cisolift, who has a wealth of experience in the access equipment industry, and strong relationships throughout the region. And we are excited for the opportunity to build a similar distribution network in the West with our new Vancouver Warehouse.” Liner said.
LGMG North America opened its Chambersburg, Penn., headquarters in 2019.
