Materials handling equipment company Big Lift has established a new North American headquarters in Wisconsin on a 120,000 sqft. (11148 sqm) site.

The site will also be headquarters to Big Lift subsidiaries Big Joe Forklifts and EP North America.

The Wisconsin facility will host a number of functions for the counterbalance forklift and autonomous handling solutions provider, including new product development, battery testing, operations, warehousing distribution, sales and training.

Big Lift president Dan Rosskamm explains the new headquarters “is an important part of the company’s growth strategy”.

“Wisconsin has been home to Big Joe since 1951, so we are proud to expand our business with our new headquarters in the Madison suburbs while supporting the local community in the process,” he adds.
