12 COMMERCIAL maltatoday | SUNDAY • 30 SEPTEMBER 2018 EXPRESS Trailers has just launched its latest venture, Express Trailers Engineer- ing Ltd. The company was launched with an event at its premises during which it also celebrated its 15 years of pro- fessional collaboration with the world leader in proprietary side-loaders Hammar Maskin.

"We can safely say that with the setting up of Express Trail- ers Engineering Ltd, we are taking our company Express Trailers back to its roots when its eight founding brothers, started building the company with their own hands through their 'can do' attitude, their talent and propensity for me- chanics and engineering and their sense of resourceful- ness," said Franco Azzopardi, Chairman and CEO of Express Trailers in his inauguration speech. "In fact, Express Trailers En- gineering Ltd will be operating under the leadership of Noel Vella, who is a family mem- ber and who succeeds his fa- ther Sebastian Vella, a veteran mechanic and tradesman, a tool-maker in the industry and one of the founding brothers. Noel Vella will be leading a dedicated team of 25 trades- men who will be focused on the work commissioned to us by HAMMAR namely the re- building and reconditioning of side-loaders as well as on the servicing of Express Trail- ers' heavy equipment," added Franco Azzopardi. Hammar Maskin produc- es proprietary side-loading equipment for trailers made of high tensile and lightweight steel that gives a huge advan- tage to all logistics operators handling containers single- handedly, be it cargo, mobile offices for construction and other sites as well as military mobile barracks and hospitals.
