Looks like i'm shocked and surprised never thought a Japanese company would sell to the Chinese but Looks like KION have bought Unicarrier.

What they now do will be a challenge could be a large benefit to both Hyundai and Doosan but who is next and how will this change the market. Less independent manufactures and KION and Toyota have over 75% of market turnover will this effect choice and prices.


Still think there are a couple more shocks to come from both KION and Toyota. KION still need to strengthen in North America while Toyota have nothing really in the Big truck market. NACCO will be the next big challenge who out of these two will get them and then will the other go for Kalmar., and were will this leave Briggs


Then who else might go komastu look shot Clark will struggle some of the Chinese will go into bigger Chinese companies Mitts and CAT might look at other options but for now just looks like the big two will try to dominate

Fact of the week
Brothers Adolf ("Adi") and Rudolf ("Rudi") Dassler split their shoe company after WWII due to a bitter feud, and established the rival companies of Adidas and Puma. Their personal animosity and business rivalry divided their German hometown Herzogenaurach. The town became known as "the town of bent necks" due to the intense loyalty to each brand.
