Mitsubishi Logisnext Americas Inc., the parent company for Mitsubishi Caterpillar Forklift America Inc. (MCFA) and UniCarriers Americas Corporation (UniCarriers), announced today its plans to integrate these group company operations within the Americas.

With more than 100 years of combined experience, the Mitsubishi Logisnext Americas group will provide a full range of material handling, automation and extensive fleet solutions to customers across five leading brands—Cat lift trucks, Mitsubishi forklift trucks, UniCarriers, Jungheinrich, and Rocla.

“Our goal is to have a stronger, more efficient business to support our customers and dealers,” said Ken Barina, president of Mitsubishi Logisnext Americas Inc. “As one unified operation, we will work together to further enhance our customer product offering and leverage the full strengths and experience of our collective employees and dealers to support customers in the future.”

The group will continue to go to market utilizing current distribution channels and manufacturing facilities located in both Houston, Texas and Marengo, Illinois.
“We know that customers today have high expectations and rising business demands, and we are excited to provide an even broader range of services and solutions to support them in the years ahead,” said Barina.

As part of this transition, the company launched its new corporate website today: www.LogisnextAmericas.com. Serving as a single source for the material handling industry, the site houses its complete portfolio of brands under one roof – including Cat lift trucks, Mitsubishi forklift trucks, UniCarriers, Jungheinrich and Rocla product lines.
