Mitsubishi and Task Consumer Products are on a roll
18 September 2017
A fleet of Mitsubishi fork lift trucks is helping one of the UK’s largest independent paper converters maintain a decade of consistent growth.

From its twin locations in Darlaston and Wolverhampton Task Consumer Products produces more than 50,000 tonnes of soft paper products for its retail and wholesale customers; from high-quality tissue and kitchen towel to away-from-home products.
Helping them achieve it are fleets of Mitsubishi counterbalance and hand pallet trucks supplied by Jofson Limited of Aldridge. For, although the end-product may be prized for its softness, the application itself is undeniably tough.
The same trucks then decant the reels onto the fully-automated state-of-the-art Fabio Perini converting lines that allow Task to provide its customers with innovative new products of the highest quality.
As the finished products – which include a host of household names including Cusheen, Luxe, So Soft and Festival – leave the production line, 1.5 and 2.5 tonne Mitsubishi electric and LP gas trucks transport the palletised loads to the goods-out warehouse. Mitsubishi ride-on power pallet trucks complete the process in a cross-docking operation into waiting containers.
The trucks are only part of this very successful relationship though. Importantly, Andy Homer and Jofson have developed innovative solutions that allow owner Ravi Patel to obtain equipment on the terms that best suit his business. Mr Patel explains: “We have been able us to purchase the equipment outright by structuring bespoke and all-inclusive deals including ‘buy-back’ arrangements.”
