50th birthday celebrations
September 1st 2008 This year Atlet AB celebrates its
50th birthday with a book, film and
a website where, in a lift truck
driving game, participants can
pitch their keyboard skills and
knowledge against other players
worldwide.
The company started in 1958
when the engineer Knut Jacobsson
had an order for four hand-drawn
stackers, but no complete truck
and hardly any suppliers of
components. From modest
beginnings in a third-floor flat, it
has become one of Europe's
biggest manufacturers of indoor
trucks, with subsidiaries in eight
countries including Atlet UK.
To celebrate its first 50 years
Atlet has produced a book and a
film in which key people talk about
their experiences and memories.
Both can be accessed from the
celebratory website www.atlet50.
com where the truck driver game
tests keyboard skills and materials
handling industry knowledge.
The 10 best participants each
month will win a prize. The contest
will be concluded in March 2009
with a world championship when
the best players will meet, face to
face, to decide who is 'the world's
best keyboard truck driver' More articles from Atlet Limited: |
