Overview
Fraza Group supplies and services material handling equipment—forklifts, aerial lifts, and utility vehicles—that power warehouses and industrial operations. Their end-to-end approach combines equipment sales with maintenance, repair, and fleet services, plus data-driven insights through the Vitan division. Differentiation comes from integrating equipment, service, and fleet management, with growth through acquisitions like Liftec to expand beyond Michigan. The goal is to be a centralized partner that helps customers move everything inside their business reliably and efficiently.
