Mitchells Equipment And Maxi-Lift Agree To Strategic Partnership

February 15, 2010

Dallas, Texas, February 15, 2010: Mitchells Equipment (Hebei) Co Ltd based in China and

Maxi-Lift Inc from the United States are pleased to announce the formation of a strategic partnership to supply bucket elevators and components throughout China and the Pan-Asian market. “Mitchells Equipment has a tremendous track record of supplying quality equipment, and their market reach made them the ideal partner for Maxi-Lift to grow our business in the region.” Said Bo Fisher, Maxi-Lift’s Sales Manager.

Mitchells Equipment was established in 1994 and has quickly grown into a major provider of bucket elevators and other conveying equipment. The company moved into a new, state of the art facility in 2007 to accommodate the growing demands from their customers. The company’s market reach is now global in scale and their equipment is prized by major grain, feed and processing companies.

Maxi-Lift began producing elevator buckets in the early 1970’s, and has since redefined the market with the introduction of several new styles designed for the higher volumes demanded by their customers. The company’s flagship product, the Tiger-Tuff is now used on six continents and is the standard for port, river and rail terminals.

Michael Mittasch, Executive Director and an owner of Mitchells reinforced the benefit of the partnership by saying, “Maxi-Lift’s numerous bucket styles and their tremendous quality gives our customers durability and performance not found in other brands. We can really customize elevator solutions in ways not previously available to us.”

Mitchells will begin stocking Maxi-Lift elevator buckets in their facility right outside of Beijing during the third quarter of 2010. Stock on hand will be available for quick delivery for new projects or replacement work.
