Rotary Lift Consolidated (RLC) has announced the purchase of Hanmecson International, a wholly owned U.S. company based in Fort Worth that manufactures vehicle lifts

Rotary Lift Consolidated (RLC) has announced the purchase of Hanmecson International, a wholly owned U.S. company based in Fort Worth that manufactures vehicle lifts at its plant in China. With the acquisition, RLC now has business operation centers in North America, Europe and Asia.

Rotary Lift manufacturing facilities are ISO 9001-certified. The acquisition of Hanmecson, the best-selling lift brand in China, according to the company, positions RLC to meet growing market demand for vehicle lift products. For several years prior to the purchase, Hanmecson had been a manufacturing supplier to RLC for some lift models and components.

“Our intent is to make RLC the foremost provider of vehicle lifts to customers around the world,” said Gary Kennon, president. “Our U.S. operation supports lift users throughout North America, Latin America, Africa and Australia, while our location in Germany handles those in Europe and the Middle East. This purchase gives us a strong presence in Asia.”
