3 Outlook Gordon Riske

Outlook 2012 Improved profitability

The KION Group has reached a very good result in the first three quarters.

  • Provided that no severe global economic events have an adverse impact on industrialtruck markets or the company during the remainder of 2012, KION expects to generate modest year-on-year revenue growth.
  • Optimised structures and the rising capacity utilisation should further strengthen full-year profitability.

Global industrial truck market is likely to stabilise around strong level of previous year.

The market for industrial trucks, which form the backbone of the global logistics industry, will, in KION's view, retain its appeal over the long term.

  • KION believes to be excellently placed to benefit from future global growth in the markets in which the Group operates.
  • Structural optimization of European production facilities is supporting KION's long-term competitiveness.
  • Weichai partnership will create additional expansion opportunities for Asia-Pacific and China business
