Update on IGV Closure – Reminder Of The Importance Of Knowing Your Manufacturer’s History

 

 

Lift Shop ceased buying from IGV in 2008 due to quality and reliability problems back then. Our customers are not affected.

Lift Shop does not change products immediately after the unforeseen significant event of a manufacturer shutting whilst at the same time claiming to have a superior product in the sidelines, and so the failure doesn’t seem overly concerning.

Since then much speculation and rumour including statements they would restart within 6-8 weeks if a buyer / money could be found. It has not restarted in more than 2 months.
This is on the public record in Italy, with the key paragraph translated.
