Mumbai, 20 January 2026 – Jungheinrich, today, announced the Asia-Pacific launch of “AntOn by Jungheinrich”, a new value-focused material handling brand designed for businesses seeking reliable, straightforward, and cost-effective solutions for everyday operations.

AntOn by Jungheinrich – set to be showcased at LogiMAT India 2026 in Mumbai from 5-7 Feb 2026 – delivers proven reliability, supported by German safety standards and testing expertise. Across the region, sustainability programmes and fleet modernisation initiatives are accelerating the shift toward electrified material handling equipment, reinforcing demand for lithium-ion solutions that balance performance, efficiency, and total cost of ownership.

The initial AntOn portfolio includes CBH 2.0, CBM 2.5, 3.0 and 3.5 tonne electric forklifts, delivering strong load capacities of 2,000 kg, 2,500 kg, 3,000 kg and 3,500 kg, travel speeds up to 17 km/h, and advanced lithium-ion batteries for rapid charging and extended operation, long service life, and minimal maintenance for reliable, efficient material handling in APAC markets. The compact PTL 1.5 pallet truck features a 1,500 kg load capacity, and an additional battery slot for continuous performance. The portfolio is set to expand towards a full product range in the future.

The launch responds to strong growth in the Asia-Pacific material handling “value” segment, which is projected to expand at 8.1% by 2030, driven by accelerating industrialisation, logistics expansion, and construction activity across India and Southeast Asia, alongside ongoing diversification of regional supply chains like Australia and New Zealand.

While China remains a high-volume material handling market with steady growth of approximately 6% CAGR, India’s logistics sector has shown strong growth, with an expected CAGR of 10.7% until the end of 2026. This momentum is reshaping India’s forklift market, driven by increased government investment, manufacturing activity, infrastructure development and the rapid rollout of modern warehousing facilities.

India’s emergence as a global manufacturing hub has attracted major international companies, accelerating foreign investment and supporting sustained double-digit year-on-year growth across the logistics sector, while its warehouse market is projected to reach USD 34.99 billion by 2027, underpinned by the rapid rise of e-commerce, continued manufacturing expansion and strong investment in technology-enabled logistics infrastructure.

“The AntOn by Jungheinrich brand is a new product line combining ease of use, reliability and cost-effectiveness,” said Nadine Despineux, Member of the Board of Management, Sales at Jungheinrich. “We are specifically targeting companies that are looking for cost-effective and straightforward solutions for typical warehouse and transport requirements.”

Following a successful European debut with strong sales, AntOn by Jungheinrich is now available to customers in Asia-Pacific, supported through multi-channel sales, including e-commerce, direct sales, and selected partners and distributors.

“With more than 70 years of material handling expertise, Jungheinrich delivers end-to-end solutions supported by an established parts and service network across Asia-Pacific,” said Manojit Acharya, Vice President, Jungheinrich APAC. “AntOn by Jungheinrich extends our offering to customers for whom reliability, simplicity, and value matter most, delivering cost-effective solutions that get the job done.”

He added, “To extend this value beyond our current sales channels, we are inviting distributors to join the AntOn by Jungheinrich partner network, supported by strong regional parts availability, dedicated distributor management, and best-in-class partner relationship tools.”

This launch reinforces Jungheinrich’s commitment to making high-quality, reliable material handling solutions accessible to a broader range of businesses across Asia-Pacific, in line with the company’s Strategy 2030+ vision.
