KION North America<\/a>\u2019s partnership with fellow KION Group<\/a> brand Dematic and the group\u2019s advanced lithium-ion technology, has positioned it to receive its largest order in company history from Wisconsin-based Menard Inc. (Menards).<\/p>\n

A privately held company headquartered in Eau Claire, Menards, has approximately 325 home improvement stores throughout 14 states in the Midwestern United States.<\/p>\n

The deal calls for KION North America<\/a> to manufacture and supply Menards with over 600 Linde industrial trucks which run on lithium-ion batteries, as well as several FM-X Reach trucks from STILL, another KION<\/a> brand, that will be fully automated by Atlanta-based Dematic.<\/p>\n

Not only does the order represent the largest in company history, but it is “the biggest lithium-ion order ever received in North America,” according to Michael Gore, vice president of sales, KION North America<\/a>.<\/p>\n

KION North America professionals showed their appreciation and support to Menards and the milestone order by autographing a photograph of a Menards inspired Linde industrial truck.<\/p><\/div>\n

“When it comes to cost reduction in the warehouse environment, our new combination of proven Linde quality, total cost of ownership, lithium-ion batteries and hybrid automation gives Menards a significant competitive edge,” noted Vincent Halma, president and CEO of KION North America<\/a>. He added that with the partnership with fellow KION brand Dematic as well as the new technologies offered exclusively by other KION Group<\/a> brands, KION North America<\/a> is in a strong position to supply large retailers in the Americas with fully integrated material handling solutions.<\/p>\n
