Theory:
- forklift industry will continue to consolidate at manufacturer level
- we'll end up with 4 major OEMs vs present
Top mfr right now from MMH mag Aug 14 edition:
1 Toyota
2 Kion
3 Jung
4 Nacco
5 Crown
6/7 Mitsubishi/Nichiyu
above = 80% of world market
8 and below = minor leagues/Chinese

So we have 6 that make up 80% of world market

My guess is we end up with 4

Kion + Nacco
Jungheinrich + MCFU (nice new initials btw!)
Toyota
Crown
+ Chinese, Koreans, and the rest

Thoughts? Combinations?
