What Jungheinrich UK does

Jungheinrich UK is the United Kingdom subsidiary of Jungheinrich AG, a German-listed intralogistics OEM with roots dating to 1953 and operations spanning 40 countries. The UK business provides material handling equipment, warehouse automation, and intralogistics software and services to enterprise customers across logistics, retail and wholesale, food and beverage, manufacturing, automotive, and chemical/pharmaceutical verticals. The company operates from Milton Keynes with regional sales and service coverage across the country.

The product portfolio spans electric and combustion forklift trucks (including the EFG 2/2i, 3/3i and Falcon high-voltage lines), reach trucks, pallet trucks, VNA trucks, and order pickers, complemented by automated systems such as mobile robots (AMRs), automated pallet and miniload warehouses, and the modular PowerCube. The digital layer includes the Jungheinrich WMS, the WCS warehouse control system, SAP EWM integration services, Fleet Management Systems, and interface management tools; AI is embedded as a feature across these (e.g., the NerdistiX chatbot in WMS, AI-driven storage location selection, image-recognition picking, voice-directed picking). A distinct strategic claim is that Jungheinrich is the only manufacturer developing and producing controls, software, batteries and chargers for its trucks in-house, with 95% of trucks electrically powered on lithium-ion technology.

Revenue is generated through multiple streams: new equipment sales (hardware), used equipment under the JUNGSTARS sub-brand, flexible rental and contract hire, leasing and hire purchase financing, a 24/7 original spare parts business (Parts Online webshop, 800,000+ SKUs), and recurring service and maintenance delivered via a global network of 6,100+ service engineers. Pricing is quote-based and varies by configuration and contract length; training, racking inspection (to EN 15635), and the Profishop e-commerce channel provide additional, lower-ticket revenue streams that extend reach into SMB and self-service buyers.
