Linde heads for North America

News Story - 20 Oct 2005
HANNOVER, Germany

Linde AG plans to reach a double digit market share in North America within three to five years. Currently the European market leader's share in the US market is below five per cent. In an interview with Forkliftaction.com News's European correspondent Luc de Smet at CeMAT 2005, Linde managing director Georg Silbermann said: "Specialists know us, but we lack fleet and brand position. We must think and work bigger. Obviously there are some serious opportunities. The US market is estimated at 200,000 units for 2006." Silbermann said Linde's vast range of trucks was an important differentiator in the market. Therefore, in addressing the American market, Linde would not focus on any industry in particular but would hit the market with its full range of trucks, some 80 to100 base models. "If we want to grow there, we must offer standard classes from 1 to 6. We must meet US specifications and be present in the field." In North America (Canada, Mexico and the USA) Linde currently has a network of 100 dealers with a total of 200 outlets. "With a market share of only below 5 per cent we must accept that they are multibrand," Silbermann said. Linde was not looking for more dealers nor was it interested in acquiring existing dealerships. "We are satisfied with the market coverage our current set up can provide. We must feed our current dealers. Naturally we will encourage them to go mono-brand with the full range of Linde trucks," he said. Linde has 200 people in North America. Two years ago it established a head office in South Carolina. Linked to the head office is an assembly/modification line with a warehouse and stock. It also has a training centre. Current workshop production is 1,500 units, "but that can easily be brought up to 5,000 without major changes", Silbermann said. "The most critical thing is to have the right product that meets local specifications and the network." Click here for full story and pictures.
