MCF the umbrella company is a joint venture company 80 owned by MHI & 20% Caterpillar Inc. MCFA, MCFE and MCFS are production and/or marketing arms for products that they produce or have a marketing agreement with or both. - like with Jungheinrch. These two companies have been bed fellows for many decades mainly in the construction equipment sector - motor graders, hydraulic excavators, small bulldozers & low HP diesel engines, etc.

No doubt there will be some streaming lining in production and sharing of R & D costs to reduce overall operational costs with the main goal to remain competitive in a competitive world market. If you snooze you will lose. As I often say no customer really wants to buy a lfit truck & continue to finds ways to reduce their fleet size until the do they have to buy (rent, lease, etc.) one. And there are more brands entering the market - some are just rebadged brands mainly from China.
