German material handling equipment specialist Jungheinrich is acquiring All Lift Forklifts, an Australian dealer and rental specialist. The acquisition strengthens Jungheinrich's position in Australia, one of the largest material handling equipment markets in the Asia-Pacific region. Headquartered in Sydney, All Lift Forklifts is a family-owned business with six locations across Australia. The company operates a diversified rental fleet and serves customers across various industries. "The acquisition of All Lift is a logical step in strengthening our presence in Australia and advancing our growth ambitions in the APAC region," says Nadine Despineux, Member of the Board of Management for Sales at Jungheinrich. All Lift will continue operating under its existing brand name. Earlier this year, Jungheinrich acquired a 4.9% stake in Chinese manufacturer EP Equipment.

Jungheinrich has acquired a 4.9% stake in Chinese industrial truck manufacturer EP Equipment as a long-term strategic investment. The transaction deepens the existing partnership between the two companies, which began in May 2025. The collaboration aims to combine expertise to enhance efficiency, productivity and sustainability in material handling. Jungheinrich benefits from the partnership through its "AntOn by Jungheinrich" brand, launched last year to expand into the mid-tech market segment with cost-effective, standardised industrial trucks primarily manufactured by EP Equipment. Both companies plan to unlock additional potential through collaboration in product portfolio development and market expansion. The investment strengthens their strategic cooperation under Jungheinrich's Strategy 2030+ initiative.

Jungheinrich AG has taken a stake in Navflex Inc., a Physical AI company specialising in autonomous truck loading and unloading, to develop a joint automation solution for European and North American markets. The partnership targets one of the last non-automated processes in intralogistics, addressing labour shortages and efficiency demands at loading docks. Navflex, founded in Germany in 2021 and headquartered in Colorado, provides AI-based software for autonomous perception, navigation and safety. Jungheinrich contributes its industrial truck expertise and service capabilities. The solution uses an industrialised vehicle platform that operates without additional infrastructure in variable dock environments. Field tests with major customers are currently underway. The collaboration aims to automate the technically demanding process of handling different trailer geometries and load carriers in confined spaces whilst ensuring safety.
