CLARK COMPANY PROFILE

Building forklifts for more than 100 years

CLARK traces its roots to the first internal combustion-powered industrial truck, built in Buchanan, Michigan in 1917. Today CLARK Material Handling Company designs and sells electric and combustion forklifts, pallet jacks, reach trucks, order pickers and tow tractors, with its global headquarters in Flower Mound, Texas.

The equipment is sold and serviced through a dealer network of more than 250 locations in North America and over 450 locations in 94 countries. With a product range that broad, a consistent brand and up-to-date product material matter in every market.

To keep it all in one place, CLARK uses Kontainer DAM as its brand guide and product line asset bank.

The challenge

One brand, many product lines and markets

CLARK has a broad product range and works with a lot of material: brochures, flyers, promotion material, product images and video. Teams, dealers and partners in the US and Europe all need the latest version, and the files can be large.

Without a shared place to go, people have to ask for files, and it gets harder to keep the CLARK brand consistent. CLARK needed a simple platform where everyone could find the right material themselves.

The Solution

A brand guide and product bank people can use themselves

CLARK uses Kontainer as a living brand guide and as an asset bank for each product line. Brochures, flyers, promotion material, videos and images are organised in a clear folder structure, so the right material is easy to find.

User groups and shared access give teams, dealers and partners the access they need, and nothing more. It is a self-service platform: users search, preview and download on their own.

Large files, such as product videos, can be shared by link, which makes file transfer between the US and Europe simple.
