# Canadian Conference

# FIRMS TO SEPARATE
After several years of partnership Sanderson and Sellick have decided to pursue separate developments. Both companies have grown impressively over the last few years and have entered markets previously untapped. Sanderson have acquired two other product lines-the Winget range of concrete mixers and dumpers and the Priestman range of hydraulic backhoes, the unique VC variable counterweight long reach backhoes and crane grabs. Sellick has developed a full line of new rough terrain forklifts as well as aircraft tow tractors.
These changes have made the consolidation of a common sales and support group impracticable. Accordingly, the two companies will cease their joint arrangement on October 1, 1987.
