Jungheinrich and EP Equipment have entered into a strategic partnership under the motto “Shaping the future of material handling together”. By joining forces, both companies expect to offer customers worldwide significant benefits when it comes to efficiency, productivity and sustainability in material handling.
With their combined expertise, Jungheinrich and EP Equipment can focus on customer-oriented and innovative warehouse and lift trucks. This will make both parties more competitive in their product offerings. As a first step, EP Equipment will contribute to the expansion of Jungheinrich’s portfolio with the new Mid-Tech brand: AntOn by Jungheinrich. This brand focuses on electric forklifts and warehouse trucks. Both parties have a similar company history, shared focus on electric material handling equipment and over the years have positively changed the intralogistics sector through innovation.
“We are excited about this new partnership. It will bring significant benefits to our customers. The expansion of our portfolio is an important part of our Strategy 2030+. With this we want to strengthen our position in the growing Mid-Tech market. Together with EP, we can offer a full range of trucks – simply the right truck for every customer,” states Lars Brzoska, CEO of Jungheinrich.
“The partnership with Jungheinrich is another step in our mission to transform the industry – from combustion to electric trucks. Together we can benefit from economies of scale in production. We will learn from each other and strengthen our position as leading players in lithium-ion powered material handling,” adds John He, CEO of EP Equipment.
EP Equipment is a leading player in lithium-ion-based material handling solutions. The company is shaping the future of the industry with innovative solutions and a clear focus on green energy. EP operates globally through an extensive dealer network.
Jungheinrich is one of the global market leaders in intralogistics solutions. The company has a strong global service network and a large number of its own direct sales locations. Since 1953, Jungheinrich has focused on innovative electrical solutions and has pioneered lithium-ion technology in the industry.
The partners expect that combining these strengths and their shared history in electrification and innovation will provide greater value for all customers. At the same time, the partnership opens the door to further strategic collaboration opportunities throughout the value chain.
