Forbes Group/Forbes Industries USA link-up

Forbes Group Limited has linked up with Forbes Industries in the United States, enabling it to bring to Europe Forbes Industries'' highly-regarded range of products, including mobile bars.

To Forbes Group’s existing portfolio of products, including banqueting tables and chairs, table skirting, chair covers, conference cloth and restaurant skirting, is now added the well-known Forbes Industries range of mobile bars, podiums, and rope and post public guidance systems, as well as luggage-, room service- and house-keeping trolleys.

In addition, the link-up enables Forbes to offer a full spares and accessories service to existing Forbes Industries customers.  So, should you need a replacement part for your mobile bar, for example, you can just ring Forbes Group on 01568 616638.

Despite the similarity of name, the two companies remain entirely independent of one another.  They have though, says Forbes Group''s Managing Director Peter Graville, many things in common.  “We were drawn to working with Forbes Industries because of our shared commitment to meeting our customers’ requirements. They,like us, are willing to pull out all the stops to find just the right product for their clients, and where nothing exists in the range, to adapt an existing product to meet that need.  They also share our standards on quality.”

This lightest modular stage was a winner at the ScotHot 2011 New Product Awards!

A range of innovative folding tables

Forbes Group Alu-Lite tables have become highly popular for their combination of strength and reduced weight. Weighing half the weight of a conventional folding table, these tables have been designed to withstand the requirements of everyday use in a busy hotel or conference centre. Its patented spring-action leg locks, and the magnetic retention of legs when folded reduce the danger of accidents to hands and fingers. The 100% aluminium frame can be recovered and recycled to minimise waste and impact on the environment. Alu-Lite tables conform to the recommended EU guidelines for lifting weights within the work place, what makes them a practical choice. Both set-up and breakdown of rooms is quicker than with conventional tables, with attendant implications for efficiency and cost-savings.
