Linde Material Handling North America Corp., Summerville, S.C., changed its corporate name to KION North America Corp., effective Jan. 1, 2015. This change will allow the company to better align itself with its European parent company, The KION Group, and serve as a platform for the company's KION 2020 North American growth strategy.
"We will even further strengthen our Linde brand with additional product offerings while at the same time grow the STILL brand through future developments," says Brian Butler, president and CEO. "As we align ourselves with the global development and manufacturing strategy of the KION Group, KION North America will become a significant contributor to the development and manufacturing of products specifically for the North American market."
