KION Group is a German company created in 2006 when Linde separated its materials handling division, and it is now one of the largest makers of forklift trucks and warehouse automation systems in the world. Its industrial truck business sells under the Linde and STILL brands across Europe and beyond, while Dematic supplies the conveyors, robotics, storage systems and control software behind large automated distribution centres. Headquartered in Frankfurt and listed there, it earns a growing share of revenue from service and from software rather than from equipment sales alone.
