Combilift’s 100,000th forklift raises €100,000 for UNICEF

Materials handling solutions manufacturer Combilift has raised and donated €100,000 to support children in crisis worldwide through a worldwide competition to mark the production of its 100,000th forklift.

Offering the exclusive 100,000th multidirectional Combi-CBE as its Prize, proceeds raised from the competition were donated to UNICEF Ireland’s Children’s Emergency Fund.

The campaign generated €56,500 in ticket sales, and at a cheque presentation ceremony, Combilift announced it had topped up the total contribution to an impressive €100,000, underlining the company’s long-standing commitment to corporate social responsibility.

The cheque was formally presented by Combilift CEO and co-founder Martin McVicar to Owen Buckley, UNICEF Ireland’s head of corporate partnerships, and Michaela Plunkett, business development manager, in Monaghan.

Speaking at the handover, McVicar said: “This campaign was designed not only to celebrate a major manufacturing achievement for Combilift, but also to make a meaningful difference beyond the factory floor. By supporting UNICEF, we are supporting one of the world’s most effective humanitarian organisations and helping children who need it most.”
