KION are a large company and need both Unicarrier and NACCO to achieve their aim for 2020 so they will do the deal its practically already done now. KION want to be number one they can't do this threw organic growth so they have to look at accusations. Unicarrier and NACCO are both for sale so KION buying one of them is a certainty and it seems Unicarrier is the one. to start with but don't be suppressed if NACCO is not added.


Since KION shut merthyr they seem to have lost their way a bit in big trucks , big trucks sell little trucks so KION need some thing here so do Toyota and they both want to be number one. Thats why who doesn't get NACCO will go for the Kalmar industrial business. Cargotec need to concentrate on the container handling business with other companies offering better products and Sany now controlling China in this area and doing well in other markets Kalmar or Cargotec need something more and they can't be good in both so Conatiner equipment will take the lead.


KION do nothing in North America Unicarrier do OK here and NACCO turn over is around 70% in North America. Toyota do well in this market so it is no surprise that KION have gone and done a deal on this.


What will happen next is all about tech and lowering cost and both Toyota and KION now risk being the Blackberry and Nokia or the Black cabs of the materials handling world or will they do the other option and be the Apple or UBER



Its not that i have insider info i Know the market and have been right so far with both KION being bought by the Chinese and shutting merthyr even tho KION said this was not going to happen
