The big news this week is the takeover of UK logistics firm Wincanton by America’s GXO Logistics in a deal worth nearly USD1 billion.

It will be interesting to see how Wincanton is integrated into GXO once the final regulatory hurdles have been cleared. 

We also bring you news of new forklift fleet technology, a new diesel forklift model and a prestigious design award.

On a sadder note, forklift fatalities continue to climb around the world, with deaths in the United States and Asia.
