The new ownership and the 100% owned subsidiary will benefit customers in the UK market with more product knowledge, better service, faster deliveries and more flexible market penetration. Axess4All has been an established name for over 5 years and is one of the leading pioneers throughout UK in introducing the platform lift to the market.

“The purchase of our distributor – Axess4All is a milestone in our company history. The strategic step - to own our distributor and get closer to the market, creates several possibilities to expand our sales”, says Mr Johan Sandberg, CEO Cibes Lift Group.
