Mitsubishi Logisnext Europe

What Mitsubishi Logisnext Europe does

Mitsubishi Logisnext Europe B.V. is the European operating arm of Japan's Mitsubishi Logisnext Co., Ltd., itself backed by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, headquartered in Almere, Netherlands with a workforce of approximately 1,900 employees. Operating as a multi-brand, multi-channel material handling and intralogistics business, it sells, distributes and services counterbalance forklifts, warehouse equipment (power pallet trucks, pallet stackers, order pickers, reach trucks), and automated guided vehicles (AGVs) under the Mitsubishi Forklift Trucks, Cat Lift Trucks, TCM, Rocla, UniCarriers, L'M trucks and Towmotor brands. Its Järvenpää facility in Finland functions as the European Design Centre (EDC) for the Logisnext Group and manufactures electric counterbalance trucks and AGVs, with additional manufacturing in Mölnlycke, Sweden and Noain, Spain.

The company's revenue mechanics combine hardware sales (new forklifts, AGVs, racking, certified used equipment), recurring streams (short- and long-term rentals, service and maintenance at Basic/Advanced/Comprehensive tiers, 24/7 helpdesk, parts with 10-year availability, training), and software (FleetController AI-based fleet optimisation with REST API integration to WMS/ERP). Go-to-market runs through nine direct sales subsidiaries in Belgium, Netherlands, France, Germany, Denmark, Finland, Sweden, Norway and the UK, complemented by over 100 independent dealers across Europe, the Middle East, Africa and CIS, with strategic pan-EMEA account coordination for multinational customers.

Strategically the firm is repositioning from a forklift manufacturer into a total intralogistics solutions provider, with automation, software, electrification and lifecycle services as growth axes. The April 2026 rebranding from Mitsubishi Logisnext Europe to Logisnext Europe marks a sharper European identity, while the FleetController platform, 40+ year AGV heritage and 1,000+ delivered AGV projects form the technological core around which equipment, software, financing, and aftermarket services are bundled for warehousing, paper & board, tyre and strategic EMEA customers.
