The public will be introduced to these new products next month at ProMat in Chicago, IL. The warehouse line can be viewed in booth S2403 and the KION North America and Dematic Mobile Automation partnership can be viewed in booth S2603.

The top honour, the President's Award, was awarded to Bravo Montacargas for achieving the highest total combined sales of lift trucks and parts.
