Kion wants to expand through acquisitions  WIESBADEN, Germany Kion Group is looking for acquisition opportunities in the mid- to low-end forklift market to further expand its business. Kion’s CEO designate Gordon Riske told Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung that Kion, acquired by KKR and Goldman Sachs from Linde for EUR4 billion (USD6.3 billion) in 2006, wants to be the leader in the forklift industry (Forkliftaction.com News #285). He explained that Kion is ahead of plan in its debt redemption and that KKR and Goldman will be ready to make acquisitions when the right opportunity came. “We want to buy above all in the middle and lower price brackets, where we are represented with OM,” Riske said. Michael Hauger, Kion’s head of communications, tells Forkliftaction.com News that an acquisition could mean the addition of a new forklift brand. “[But] Kion will not change its highly successful multi-brand strategy [that] currently comprises three brands – Linde, Still and OM. There could be reasons to add to one or the other brand.” Hauger won’t comment on the geographical location of potential acquisition targets but reiterates the importance of Asia and US for the European-based forklift business. “Asia, of course, is one of the important growth markets. In China, we are well positioned with a 100%-owned factory and R&D activities. [And] Linde Material Handling will introduce completely new trucks developed for the US market,” he says. Linde Material Handling announced last month that it was investing EUR21 million (USD33.1 million) in its heavy forklift business (Forkliftaction.com News #352).  Barloworld buys Hong Kong-based Flynt JOHANNESBURG, South Africa Barloworld Logistics has acquired Hong Kong-based logistics company Flynt International for USD13 million. Flynt is a private company that has been operating since 1980. It employs over 130 people, with the majority based in Hong Kong. Other regional offices are located in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. The purchase price is subject to final adjustment based on profit and other warranties to be received. Warren Erfmann, Barloworld Logistics CEO for Middle East and Asia, says Flynt is one of the top privately held freight forwarders in Hong Kong. “By combining Flynt and Swift activities in the region, we will significantly enhance our ability to provide supply chain solutions to customers in the Middle East, Europe and Africa.” Barloworld announced last month it had bought Dubai-based logistics company Swift Group and its affiliates for USD70 million (Forkliftaction.com News #354). Paul Stuiver, Barloworld Logistics CEO, says the acquisition forms another link in providing multimodal solutions in the global logistics arena. Barloworld Logistics is the supply chain management subsidiary of industrial multinational company Barloworld. Barloworld Handling, another subsidiary, is a Hyster forklift distributor.

Northern Bear adds forklift business to portfolio CHESTER-LE-STREET, United Kingdom Northern Bear plc, a building supplies and services company, has diversified its business with the acquisition of A1 Trucks and DJ McGough for GBP6.72 million (USD13.2 million). A1 Trucks of Newcastle was established in 1983. It sells, leases, rents and maintains a fleet of about 400 forklifts. For the 12 months ended 30 April 2007, A1 Trucks had a turnover of GBP3.31 million (USD6.5 million) and pre-tax profit of GBP789,080 (USD1.6 million). DJ McGough is a commercial and industrial plumbing, heating and mechanical services company established in 1988, with annual revenue of about GBP2.7 million (USD5.3 million). According to The Journal, Northern Bear chose the established and profitable businesses to diversify from the new-build housing market and to insulate itself against the downturn in that sector. The company’s finance director, David Jay, told the Newcastle paper that the housing market will bounce back in the future and Northern Bear wants to be “in a good position when it does come back”. Northern Bear paid GBP4.67 million (USD9.2 million) for A1 Trucks, and founders Derek Wymes and Graeme Tennick will remain with the company. “We will continue to look at businesses with strong cash flow and strong management,” says Jay. Northern Bear was established in 2006 and, according to its website, has a market capitalisation of GBP18.5 million. Its investment strategy is to grow “by acquiring well established, cash-generative buildings services businesses based in Northern England”. In 2007, the company acquired five businesses – Jennings Roofing (November), Hastie D Burton (June), Chirmarn Surveying and Chirmarn (both in May) and MGM (February).  Narrow Aisle’s global contract with Bosch TIPTON, United Kingdom Narrow Aisle Inc has signed an agreement to supply Bosch with over 20 articulated forklifts at four locations around the world. John Maguire, Narrow Aisle’s sales and marketing director, says the contract was won after Bosch and Narrow Aisle technical staff co-operated to produce a detailed computer simulation of Bosch’s internal warehouse operation. The simulation highlighted the benefits of using the Flexi articulated truck. The forklifts are working at Bosch locations around the UK and will be used at the Bosch facility in Hunan, China. Maguire says Bosch is also interested to use the trucks in locations throughout Europe. The forklift fleet is supported by Narrow Aisle’s global authorised dealer network. “Obviously, companies like Bosch that operate their truck fleets on a global basis only deal with forklift suppliers who can provide well organised after-sales service and parts support worldwide,” Maguire says, adding that Narrow Aisle has invested over 15 years developing a quality service authorised dealer network across the globe. The Bosch fleet includes the Flexi G4 truck that was launched in September 2006. The forklift won the 2007 British Materials Handling Federation Safety Award. The value of the contract is not disclosed. Flexi trucks for the European market are designed and built at Narrow Aisle’s UK manufacturing facility while the company has a Taiwanese partner that produces the trucks for the Americas and the Asia Pacific region. Over half of the components used in the Taiwanese forklift assembly are sourced from Europe, Maguire says.

Authorised by the Energy Policy Act of 2005, the fund will be administered by EPA’s National Clean Diesel Campaign (NCDC) and a network of seven collaboratives made up of EPA regional offices and public and private sector partners. Stephen L Johnson, EPA administrator, says air in the US is cleaner today than a generation ago under the leadership of President George Bush. “By encouraging innovations in existing diesel engines, EPA is driving the nation toward a clean, healthy and productive tomorrow,” says Johnson. EPA says that if its stringent particulate and nitrogen oxide standards are fully implemented, over 20,000 premature deaths will be avoided and over USD150 billion in public health benefits can be saved. The funding is aimed at reducing emissions from the existing fleet of 11 million diesel engines that pre-date the standards. “Addressing the existing fleet is important because diesels remain in use for decades,” EPA says in a statement. State, local, regional and tribal governments as well as non-profit organisations and institutions with transportation, educational services and air quality responsibilities can apply for the grants. EPA is targeting school or transit buses, medium- and heavy-duty trucks, marine engines, locomotives and non-road engines. Grant recipients can use a variety of cost-effective emission reduction strategies like EPA-verified retrofit and idle-reduction technologies, EPA-certified engine upgrades, vehicle or equipment replacements, cleaner fuels and creation of innovative clean diesel financing programs. NCDC uses an incentive-based approach to achieve environmental results. According to EPA, over 400,000 existing diesel engines have been retrofitted during the campaign’s first few years, cutting harmful emissions by nearly 300,000 tons. Fuel Systems Solutions converts Hyundai forklift engine SANTA ANA, CA, United States Fuel Systems Solutions Inc has expanded its forklift business with a new contract to convert Hyundai Heavy Industries Co Ltd’s 2.0 litre internal combustion engines to run on liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). The engines that are used in Hyundai forklifts have been certified by the Environmental Protection Agency and the California Air Resources Board. The forklifts will be imported and sold to US customers. Fuel Systems Solutions will supervise engine conversions performed at Hyundai’s original equipment manufacturing facilities in South Korea. The terms of the contract were not disclosed. Mariano Costamagna, Fuel Systems Solutions’ CEO, says the addition of Hyundai as a customer demonstrates the company’s success in leveraging its industry position and technology in the gaseous fuels market. Fuel Systems Solutions is also introducing a 2008 low emissions fuel system using General Motor’s 3.0 litre engine for off-highway industrial applications. It is certified to operate at emissions levels that approach Tier 4 standards that take effect in January 2010. Fuel Systems Solutions is a holding company comprising of the operating subsidiaries IMPCO Technologies and BRC Gas Equipment. IMPCO designs, manufactures and supplies products and systems enabling internal combustion engines to run on clean burning gaseous fuels. BRC produces systems for converting vehicles to gaseous fuel.  Bridgestone Firestone creates all-hydrogen fleet AIKEN COUNTY, SC, United States The Bridgestone Firestone North American Tire LLC (BFNT) plant in Aiken County, South Carolina, is exchanging its electric forklifts for fuel cell-powered forklifts. This year, the plant will exchange 23 forklifts and in 2009, another 20, to create an all-hydrogen fleet. BFNT officials and representatives from the Economic Development Partnership of South Carolina unveiled the new “green-powered” forklift fleet and announced the installation of a hydrogen fuel pump across from the plant for use by BFNT and other businesses last week. Mike Rose, the plant manager, says the company is “very excited” about the green initiative. “This is a natural step for a technology-focused company like Bridgestone … We’re proud to be among the first in the neighbourhood to use this green, clean fuel in our material movers.” The passenger and light truck tyre plant started using fuel cells during a prototype fuel cell project with Plug Power, formerly General Hydrogen, in January 2007. The project is expanding on BFNT’s success using hydrogen fuel cells to run industrial vehicles at other facilities. From its experience, BFNT found that hydrogen-powered vehicles run two to three times longer on a hydrogen fuel cell and take a quarter of the time to refuel compared to battery-powered forklifts. Fred Humes, director of the Economic Development Partnership, praises Bridgestone Firestone’s commitment to using alternative energy, calling it a “true testament” to the company’s dedication to the environment and its community. “The use of alternative energy sources like hydrogen fuel cells is key to our state’s economic future,” says Humes, who is also the founding chairman of the South Carolina Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Alliance’s board of directors. The Aiken County plant has a history of implementing environmental initiatives including an on-site wildlife habitat and nature education area certified by the international Wildlife Habitat Council. The plant has also received environmental awards for pollution prevention and environmental stewardship. It is a charter member of the US Environmental Protection Agency’s National Environmental Performance Track program. Clearance Sale! Massive wholesale clearance of Hyster used equipment.

Ida Tech’s next-generation 250 watt iGen fuel cell power supply is designed as an auxiliary power unit for applications that could potentially include recreational vehicles and telecommunications backup power. The supply agreement will generate about 100 fuel cell product unit shipments from Ballard to IdaTech in the first year with the potential for over 1,000 units over the full term of the agreement. Ballard’s chief customer officer, Noordin Nanji, says the agreement shows progress in the market adoption of Ballard’s fuel cell products. “This new strategic relationship with IdaTech broadens our market focus with an important new fuelling solution and deepens our market traction by establishing another important customer relationship in the fuel cell backup power market,” Nanji says. IdaTech CEO Hal Koyama says the company selected Ballard’s Mark 1020 ACS fuel cell stack for its overall performance, reliability and price. Nanji says auxiliary and back up power solutions based on fuel cell technology deliver advantages over conventional batteries and diesel generators, including higher reliability, lower maintenance costs, longer operating life and reduced size, weight, installation footprint and environmental footprint. IdaTech of Bend, Oregon, US, is a fuel cell solutions developer for telecommunication, commercial and industrial backup power.

JR Poole, a senior from East Rowan High School won the scholarship for an essay he wrote on why he has chosen a construction industry career. Poole plans to become a mechanical engineer. He wrote: “America's construction industry is growing rapidly, and with this growth, the construction industry has many tremendous job opportunities. I have always liked the construction industry, and I believe that by becoming a mechanical engineer, I can help contribute to the construction field. "The construction industry offers many rewarding aspects for a job such as good pay and advancement, being able to create a better and more efficient world, and being able to see an idea become a reality." Poole participated in AEM’s Construction Challenge competition at the association’s CONEXPO-CON/AGG expo in Las Vegas (Forkliftaction.com News #352). Participants who were planning a construction industry career were given the opportunity of submitting a 750-word essay for a chance to win the scholarship. Five finalists were selected on the basis of their interest and enthusiasm. Two weeks before the 11-15 March expo, the public voted on the winning essay via the CONEXPO-CON/AGG website. Over 17,000 online votes were cast. Owner finds stolen forklift with family’s help CHANDLER, AZ, United States An Arizona company set up its own sting operation to catch the man who stole a forklift after police were unable to help. It all began, according to The Tribune, when Roger Bottomfield hired Joseph Bisson of Maricopa to do forklift repairs at his business near Chandler Boulevard and Interstate 10. Bottomfield assumed it would be safe to leave the forklift outside because he had removed the propane fuel tank and locked up the keys. However, the vehicle vanished and Bottomfield suspected the mechanic. “He was smarter than us. He brought a propane tank and the last time he was here, he changed out the keys,” Bottomfield said. Bottomfield said he suspected Bisson of stealing the USD7,500 forklift after he called the repair company to cancel the work because of the theft and Bisson appeared unconcerned. When the local police said they couldn’t investigate, Bottomfield enlisted the help of his family to set up a sting. Armed with a false business name, his adult children called Bisson to see if he had a forklift for sale. Bisson said he did, and took Bottomfield’s daughter to a private residence in Maricopa to inspect the forklift. While a friend distracted Bisson, the daughter managed to photograph the vehicle’s serial number, which matched that of the missing forklift. After receiving the photographic evidence, police arrested Bisson on suspicion of felony theft. Police told The Tribune additional felony charges are pending. Bisson’s employer, The Lift Doctor, has “let him go” while the case is pending.

Predator may become prey MELBOURNE, Victoria, Australia Transport infrastructure group Asciano, once touted as planning an ambitious takeover of Brambles, a company three times its size, has sold its stake in the pallet supplier (Forkliftaction.com News #325). MD Mark Rowsthorn announced last week that the company’s remaining stake of 48,7 million shares in Brambles had been sold at a disappointing loss. The company said it expected the impact of the Brambles sale on its 2007/08 full-year results to be a loss of about AUD85 million before tax and funding costs. The bulk of the proceeds from the share sale would be used to retire a AUD406 million facility to improve the group's overall level of gearing and enhance balance sheet flexibility. Rowsthorn said the sale will allow Asciano to focus on its core business and pursue growth initiatives within its existing operations. Meanwhile, a report in WorldCargo News Online this week speculates that Asciano itself may become a target for takeover as a result of losses reported in its first six months of trading and a floundering share price. FTA between NZ and China but union is unhappy AUCKLAND, New Zealand A free trade agreement (FTA) has been signed between New Zealand and China. According to NZ prime minister Helen Clark, the FTA is the culmination of 15 rounds of negotiations over three years, making NZ the first developed country to negotiate such an agreement with China. “Over time, this FTA will result in the elimination of tariffs on 96% of New Zealand exports to China, and is estimated to lift New Zealand’s export revenue from China by between USD180 to USD280 million (NZD225 to NZD350 million) every year. “New Zealand and China have also signed binding agreements on labour and environment, aimed at encouraging dialogue and co-operation in these two important areas,” says Clark. However, the FTA has been criticised by the Maritime Union of New Zealand. Maritime Union general secretary Trevor Hanson says any attempts by employers to use international labour to attack wages and conditions will meet with a strong reaction. He says free trade agreements tend to be an ongoing process rather than a one-off, and maritime and transport unions around the world viewed free trade agreements as mechanisms to attack working people. "We don't believe this free trade agreement with China is just going to mean New Zealand selling more dairy products. There will be a major pay-off and we believe the implications for workers’ conditions, human rights and national sovereignty have been disregarded in the shallow analysis and lack of debate we have seen in New Zealand."

Forklift driver tried to strangle wife AUCKLAND, New Zealand A 55-year old forklift driver has told how he tried to suffocate his terminally ill wife to put her out of her misery, according to a report in the Sunday News last week. Lloyd John Faithfull was sentenced to a year's home detention last month for the attempted murder in October of his 66-year-old partner, Jean, who was dying from pancreatic cancer. He escaped jail because the judge said the forklift driver thought he was "just going to put her out of her misery".  Send this newsletter to an associate
