UNSTOPPABLE GRIT
"WITHOUT GRIT, TALENT MAY BE NOTHING THAN
UNMET POTENTIAL."
--ANGELA DUCKWORTH
GRIT, living life like it’s a marathon, not a sprint.
Psychologists has found that an emerging significant predictor of success is not social intelligence, good looks, physical health or even IQ. It’s GRIT.
At Goldbell, we too believe that GRIT is the key to success.

Today, Goldbell is proud to be the market leader in industrial vehicles, with 41,000 clients served across a wide range of products and services.
With Unstoppable Grit, Goldbell has extended our offerings from just a small equipment distributor to a total solution provider for businesses – from leasing and distribution of vehicles and equipment, to financial solutions and even complementary aftersales care. We are also committed to grow the future mobility landscape in Singapore, believing that it will greatly contribute to our clients’ efficiency and bottom line.
Without grit, none of these would be possible.
