About Kion Group AG

KION GROUP AG is one of the world’s leading industrial truck and supply chain solutions companies, listed on Xetra/Frankfurt (DAX/MDAX/SDAX) in Germany. Headquartered in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, the group was founded in 2006, but it is built on a set of much older industrial brands, including Linde Material Handling, STILL, Dematic, Fenwick and OM. This mix of a relatively young listed holding company and long-established operating brands gives KION a distinctive industrial profile and a strong reputation in intralogistics. KION’s business model is organized around two core segments. Industrial Trucks & Services covers forklift trucks, warehouse trucks, pallet trucks, material-handling equipment and related services. This segment benefits from a large installed base and a significant recurring contribution from maintenance, spare parts, service contracts and fleet-related solutions. Intelligent Automation Solutions, formerly Supply Chain Solutions, focuses on warehouse automation, robotics, software, order-picking systems, conveyor technology and integrated end-to-end automation projects. Together, these businesses allow KION to serve both the traditional material-handling market and the structural upgrade of global supply chains through automation, digitalization and software-driven optimization. From a competitive standpoint, KION is among the largest industrial truck manufacturers globally and the largest in the EMEA region. It also holds a leading position in China as a foreign manufacturer. In warehouse automation, the group describes itself as a global leader. Its multi-brand portfolio enables it to address a broad customer base ranging from SMEs to multinational industrial, retail, logistics and e-commerce clients. Geographically, KION operates in more than 100 countries, with solutions deployed across factories, warehouses, ports, hubs and distribution centers. Recent developments underline KION’s ongoing transformation toward a more integrated supply chain solutions platform. In 2025, management continued to emphasize automation, AI-enabled software and digital-twin capabilities as strategic priorities. The company also reported strong share-price performance relative to the DAX and MDAX in 2025 and proposed a dividend of €0.62 per share for the 2025 financial year. In addition, KION highlighted improvements in sustainability performance and announced technology partnerships intended to accelerate next-generation automation offerings. For investors, KION combines cyclical industrial exposure with long-term structural growth drivers in automation, software and supply-chain resilience.
