i can see we have a very interesting and divers view of opinions , what i think will be interesting in the market will be how the big companies manage their different brands to the market.

When you look at what i would call the big four manufactures Toyota, KION, Hyster Yale and Uniarrier market their different brands they will always say one premium, one value and one economy. the fact that they all might use a number of the same parts might just go by the by but in the future it will be the customer who will decide what they want and what they are willing to pay for.

And maybe then manufactures will stop saying premium value and economy and just say a forklift that will move your product

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.
