Hyster-Yale Materials Handling, Inc., Cleveland, Ohio, announced today that its wholly-owned operating subsidiary, NACCO Materials Handling Group, Inc., which designs, engineers, manufactures, sells and services Hyster and Yale brand lift trucks and aftermarket parts, will change its corporate name to Hyster-Yale Group, Inc., effective Jan. 1, 2016.
The name change is designed to reinforce Hyster-Yale Group’s position as the operating company under Hyster-Yale Materials Handling, Inc., and to eliminate any confusion created by continuing to use NACCO in the operating company name subsequent to the 2012 spinoff of Hyster-Yale Materials Handling from NACCO Industries, Inc.
