Jungheinrich further expands global sales and service network

Following the acquisition of the dealership in Malaysia and the majority stake in NTP Forklifts in Australia in 2015, Jungheinrich has now established a sales company in Chile, South America’s third-largest material handling equipment market, that is scheduled to take up operations in April 2016.

Personnel and assets of the dealerships BME Group (South Africa) and Spitec Renta Lift (Chile) were or will be taken over during the course of the companies’ foundation.

On its core market, Europe, Jungheinrich acquired the Jungheinrich operations of the dealership Wylze-Logistik in Romania in January 2016 en route to founding a sales company. However, Jungheinrich was particularly active outside Europe. The establishment of Jungheinrich South Africa occurred as early as 2015.

“Now Jungheinrich is represented through its own sales companies in 36 countries the world over, giving us a really strong presence,” said Lars Brzoska, member of the Jungheinrich Board of Management in charge of sales. “In line with the Group’s strategy, we are resolutely expanding our global network, enabling us to tap and exhaust market potential more comprehensively.”
