Siemens and KION partner to shape the supply chains of the future (news with additional features)  






16.04.2026 / 10:09 CET/CEST

    Siemens and KION partner to shape the supply chains of the future  

   The partnership strengthens the resilience of supply chains and warehouses  
   Siemens’ new simulation technology is being deployed in Europe for the first time  
   KION and Siemens announce data collaboration  
   
   Hannover, April 16, 2026  – Siemens and KION are making supply chains and warehouses future-ready with AI, automation and simulation technologies. The two companies have entered into a strategic partnership to digitalize complex intralogistics processes. The goal is to make operations more predictable and flexible, while improving productivity and resilience. The partnership centers on intelligent warehouses in which the digital and physical worlds converge. On-site cameras and sensors capture vast amounts of data, which is analyzed by artificial intelligence (AI). This data forms the basis of a digital twin for individual machines, entire systems and complete warehouses, enabling end-to-end process simulations. That means logistics companies can virtually test how changes to warehouse layouts impact overall throughput. As part of the partnership, KION will be the first company in Europe to use Siemens’ new Digital Twin Composer software. The solution enables multiple processes to be simulated in parallel and in real time – unlocking a previously unattainable level of efficiency and flexibility. 

 “Supply chains today have to be efficient, but above all resilient,” said Cedrik Neike, Member of the Managing Board at Siemens AG and CEO of Siemens Digital Industries. “Together with KION, we are using a comprehensive digital twin and industrial AI to turn the warehouse from a physical hub into the digital nerve center of the supply chain – laying the foundation for greater resilience and flexibility.” 

 “As The Supply Chain Solutions Company, KION orchestrates end-to-end solutions for its customers within warehouses and factories, and eventually across the entire supply chain. With Siemens as a strategic partner, KION is strengthening its ability to combine the digital and physical worlds at scale. This takes our digital twin-based solutions to a new level,” said Rob Smith, CEO of KION GROUP AG. 

 Siemens first introduced Digital Twin Composer in January at CES in Las Vegas. The software acts as a modular toolkit for an AI-powered digital twin of factories and logistics. It allows users to create a new digital twin of their products, production facilities or processes and completely optimize it in the Industrial Metaverse, all powered by industrial AI, simulation and physical real-time information. Once a warehouse is operational, the Digital Twin Composer serves as a toolbox for continuously improving operations. The solution enables companies to rapidly simulate all aspects of their product or production data – both virtual and physical – in a secure, managed high-fidelity 3D experience, throughout the lifecycle of the product, process or facility. 

 KION maps the planning, implementation and operation of its logistics solutions in its own software environment. Based on Siemens’ PLM software Teamcenter and the creation of a digital twin, KION manages logistics solutions across their entire lifecycle. This allows companies to simulate warehouses and processes early on, make data‑driven decisions and optimize operations by testing changes virtually before implementation. 

 As part of their collaboration, Siemens and KION have agreed to exchange selected industrial data. KION contributes operational data and domain expertise from complex warehouse environments. This will accelerate the deployment of AI-enabled solutions in warehouses and supply chains. This typifies the data partnerships bringing Siemens closer to realizing an Industrial Foundation Model that will scale the benefits of industrial AI across industrial processes and domains.

KION brings physical AI into live warehouse operations at GTC 2026 in San José, California (news with additional features)  






16.03.2026 / 23:07 CET/CEST

    KION brings physical AI into live warehouse operations at GTC 2026 in San José, California  

   Lighthouse physical AI projects move from simulation into live warehouse operations, showing how advanced AI is turning into measurable value for customers  
   KION showcases two core applications: an autonomous industrial truck supporting day  ‑  to  ‑  day warehouse operations, and AI  ‑  based, safety  ‑  certified human detection enabling automated trailer loading  
   Rob Smith, CEO of KION GROUP AG: “Our customers are facing increasing labor shortage and have a high need to increase operational efficiency. KION solves this challenge with the use of intelligent automated mobile robots and AI-cameras in supply chain operations. Our GXO pilot marks an important step forward in demonstrating how physical AI solutions deliver clear, tangible value for customers.”  
      

  San José, March 16, 2026  – KION presents two industrial applications of physical AI at GTC 2026 in San José, California. The demonstrations focus on autonomous material handling in operational warehouse environments and on safety-certified human detection for automated trailer loading. It is the next step of the strategic collaboration between KION, NVIDIA, and Accenture, aimed at bringing AI and digital twins to the physical world in the supply chain, driving the integration of AI-driven perception, simulation, and fleet orchestration. 

 These lighthouse projects mark a transition from simulation-based development to deployment in real-world operations. KION uses NVIDIA's Omniverse platform and the MEGA simulation engine as well as a physical AI-powered digital twin and systems architecture pioneered by Accenture to create digital twins of customer warehouses, enabling virtual commissioning before physical installation. This approach allows scenarios to be tested under variable conditions, including safety-critical situations. 

 “Our customers are facing increasing labor shortage and have a high need to increase operational efficiency. KION solves this challenge with the use of intelligent automated mobile robots and AI-cameras in supply chain operations,” said Rob Smith, CEO of KION GROUP AG. “Our GXO pilot marks an important step forward in demonstrating how physical AI solutions deliver clear, tangible value for customers.” 

  Autonomous industrial truck at GXO   

 KION has deployed its first AI-supported autonomous industrial truck at a GXO Logistics warehouse in Épinoy, France. GXO, the world’s largest pure-play contract logistics provider, is the leader in tech-enabled fulfillment managing outsourced supply chains, warehousing, and reverse logistics for leading brands across 27 countries. The site, which currently operates more than 200 manual trucks, serves as a pilot environment for KION’s physical AI. 

 “We’re focused on turning advanced AI into tangible value across our operations and this pilot helps explore what’s possible for the future of supply chain,” said Patrick Kelleher, CEO of GXO Logistics. Before deployment, the warehouse was mapped using spatial scanners and then converted into a digital twin. Now, the truck completes full end-to-end transport missions autonomously in a live warehouse. It detects pallets using AI-based ceiling and onboard cameras before transporting them to defined drop locations. Most importantly: it operates alongside warehouse personnel and manual forklifts – all without human intervention. 

  Safety certification for human detection   

 KION is working with NVIDIA on a certification for a functional safety solution that relies on AI-based human detection in warehouse environments. The system uses NVIDIA's Halos foundation model, which detects and localizes humans and industrial trucks, and is fine-tuned with KION's domain-specific data for intralogistics environments. The application is designed for automated trailer loading, a use case demonstrated at CeMAT Shanghai in October 2025. KION's approach uses stationary cameras connected to an NVIDIA edge AI platform. A proof of concept at a live warehouse is planned for later this year. 

  Synthetic data and edge case simulation   

 Training AI models for safety-critical applications requires exposure to rare but plausible scenarios. KION generates synthetic training data within virtual environments to prepare systems for so-called long-tail situations: events that occur with very low probability but must still be handled correctly. The virtual warehouse environment allows these scenarios to be simulated without disrupting live operations or requiring physical staging.

KION with solid financial year 2025 – strong order intake (news with additional features)  






26.02.2026 / 06:53 CET/CEST 



The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.   

    KION with solid financial year 2025 – strong order intake  

   Order intake significantly increases to € 11.705 billion (2024: € 10.321 billion)  
   Revenue slightly down to € 11.297 billion (2024: € 11.503 billion)  
   Adj. EBIT at € 788.6 million (2024: € 917.2 million)  
   Adj. EBIT margin at 7.0 percent (2024: 8.0 percent)  
   Strong free cash flow at € 709.5 million (2024: € 702.0 million)  
   Efficiency program successfully completed in 2025  
   Outlook 2026: KION on profitable growth path  
   Supply Chain Solutions (SCS) segment renamed to “Intelligent Automation Solutions” (IAS)  
  Frankfurt am Main, February 26, 2026 – KION delivered a solid business performance in the financial year 2025 in a challenging geopolitical and macroeconomic environment. Customer demand increased and order intake in all of KION’s business lines was considerably higher year-on-year. For the Industrial Trucks amp; Services segment, 2025 was a look-through year as expected. The Supply Chain Solutions segment increased its results in line with its sustainable continuous improvement journey. 

 “In a challenging environment, order intake increased in both KION’s operating segments, outperforming their key markets. All key performance indicators on group level were in line with our updated outlook — free cash flow slightly exceeded expectations,” says Rob Smith, CEO of KION GROUP AG. “We made strong progress in implementing our ‘Playing to Win’ strategy, driving our industry leadership and securing the long-term success of KION. Looking ahead, our partnerships, our technology and our people give us the strength to accelerate innovation and unlock opportunities — in a market that is evolving at incredible speed.” 

  Financial Results   

 With € 11.705 billion (2024: € 10.321 billion),  order intake on group level  was considerably higher year-on-year. Order intake at  Industrial Trucks amp; Services  increased by 4.9 percent to € 8.147 billion (2024: € 7.766 billion), benefitting from growth in counterbalance trucks and warehouse equipment in the new truck business and the continued growth in the service business. The number of new trucks ordered rose by 8.6 percent to 266,000. Order intake at  Supply Chain Solutions  significantly increased by 39.5 percent to € 3.599 billion (2024: € 2.579 billion). Project business (Business Solutions) was driven by orders from multiple customer segments, in particular pure-play e-commerce. Service business grew robustly. 

  Group revenue  in 2025 slightly declined by 1.8 percent to € 11.297 billion year-on-year (2024: € 11.503 billion). In the  Industrial Trucks amp; Services  segment, revenue declined by 3.9 percent to € 8.272 billion (2024: € 8.609 billion), mainly due to lead time normalization in 2024. Service business generated solid growth. Revenue in the  Supply Chain Solutions  segment increased by 4.4 percent to € 3.071 billion (2024: € 2.943 billion). Both project business and service business grew year-on-year. 

  Adjusted EBIT  on group level was € 788.6 million (2024: € 917.2 million) corresponding to an  adjusted EBIT margin  of 7.0 percent (2024: 8.0 percent). Adjusted EBIT in the  Industrial Trucks amp; Services  segment decreased to € 721.8 million (2024: € 917.5 million) with an adjusted EBIT margin of 8.7 percent (2024: 10.7 percent), mainly impacted by lower volumes and the decline in the gross margin in new business due to pricing and product mix. At € 183.2 million,  Supply Chain Solutions  significantly increased adjusted EBIT year-on-year (2024: € 112.9 million) with an adjusted EBIT margin of 6.0 percent (2024: 3.8 percent). Both the steady growth of the service business and the higher level of gross profit from the project business (Business Solutions) contributed to this. 

 The Executive Board of KION GROUP AG initiated an efficiency program on February 4, 2025, to strengthen long-term competitiveness and maintain headroom for future investments. The measures under the program involved adapting organizational structures and processes of the Industrial Trucks amp; Services segment and in Corporate Services in the EMEA region. The vast majority (€ 168.8 million) of the total expenses expected was recognized as non-recurring items in 2025. The efficiency program will result in permanent cost savings of around € 150 million per year. First positive impact on earnings already came in 2025 and should be almost entirely effective during 2026.    

  Net income  was € 240.5 million (2024: € 369.2 million), significantly impacted by one-time expenses related to the efficiency program. With € 709.5 million (2024: € 702.0 million),  free cash flow  was strong. 

  Supply Chain Solutions segment renamed   

 KION’s ongoing transformation to become The Supply Chain Solutions Company is reflected in the renaming of the Supply Chain Solutions (SCS) segment to “Intelligent Automation Solutions” (IAS) effective with the beginning of the financial year 2026. The Dematic brand will be positioned to an even larger extent in the supply chain orchestration space. 

 “KION’s business combines all the factors modern supply chains rely on: industrial trucks, automation, robotics, software and AI, with systems and solutions that learn in real-time, adapt within seconds, and plan ahead. Industrial Trucks amp; Services and Intelligent Automation Solutions will offer end-to-end solutions to our customers with an even more integrated approach,” says Rob Smith. 

  Outlook   

 Expectations around the KION Group’s business situation and financial performance in 2026 will be influenced by the different rates of growth in the two operating segments. The expectations set out below relate to the middle of the relevant forecast range. 

 The Industrial Trucks amp; Services segment is expected to see a slight year-on-year increase in revenue in 2026 in view of the assumptions regarding the market situation. At the same time, the efficiency program will provide a boost to earnings. Its positive effects were already discernible in 2025 and should be almost entirely effective during 2026. By contrast, ongoing competitive pressure is anticipated, which is likely to weigh on price levels. Overall, a marked rise in the segment's earnings and profitability is anticipated. 

 In the Intelligent Automation Solutions segment, revenue is expected to increase significantly in 2026 thanks to a much better order situation in the project business and sustained positive momentum in the service business. The higher level of revenue, an improved gross margin in the project business, and the high-margin service business will have a significant positive impact on adjusted EBIT, resulting in a further rise in profitability. 

 For 2026, the Executive Board of KION GROUP AG anticipates moderate growth in consolidated revenue and a significant improvement in adjusted EBIT compared with 2025. Return on capital employed (ROCE) is likely to be noticeably higher than in 2025. The Group's free cash flow is expected to be significantly lower than in 2025 because a material proportion of the non-recurring expenses from the efficiency program will only start impacting on cash flow over the course of 2026. Moreover, the KION Group is planning an increased level of acquisition-related capital expenditure compared with 2025. 

 The KION Group is aiming for its core key performance indicators and those of its operating segments to be within the following ranges:

KION with a solid third quarter – strong order intake increase in the first nine months of 2025 (news with additional features)  






30.10.2025 / 06:52 CET/CEST 



The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.   

    KION with a solid third quarter – strong order intake increase in the first nine months of 2025   

   Order intake strongly increases to € 8.882 billion (2024: € 7.506 billion)  
   Revenue slightly down to € 8.200 billion (2024: € 8.435 billion)  
   Adj. EBIT at € 575.4 million (2024: € 666.7 million)  
   Adj. EBIT margin at 7.0 percent (2024: 7.9 percent)  
   Positive free cash flow of € 392.8 million (2024: € 431.3 million)  
   Expected expenses for efficiency program substantially reduced; expected savings remain intact  
   Outlook narrowed for revenue, adj. EBIT amp; ROCE, increased for free cash flow  
  Frankfurt am Main, October 30, 2025 – In the first nine months of the financial year 2025, KION’s results were overall in line with expectations. Continuing the positive trend of the first two quarters of the year, customer demand increased again in the third quarter. With € 8.882 billion (2024: € 7.506 billion), order intake in all business lines was considerably higher year-on-year. Revenue in both operating segments was slightly below prior year based on the lower level of the order book at the beginning of 2025. 

 “KION grew order intake in both operating segments in an ongoing challenging macroeconomic and geopolitical environment and made significant progress in implementing the efficiency program”, says Rob Smith, CEO of KION GROUP AG. “On the basis of our solid year-to-date performance, we narrowed our guidance ranges and raised our outlook for free cash flow for 2025.” 

  Order intake  at  Industrial Trucks amp; Services  increased by 7.3 percent to € 5.970 billion (2024: € 5.566 billion), benefitting from both counterbalance trucks and warehouse equipment in the new truck business and the continued growth in the service business. The significant increase in order intake at  Supply Chain Solutions  by 50.5 percent to € 2.941 billion (2024: € 1.955 billion) was driven by a remarkable dynamic in the project business and a continued growth in the service business. 

  Group revenue  in the first nine months of 2025 slightly declined by 2.8 percent to € 8.200 billion year-on-year (2024: € 8.435 billion). In the  Industrial Trucks amp; Services  segment, revenue declined by 3.6 percent to € 6.079 billion (2024: € 6.305 billion), mainly due to the normalized order book. Revenue in the  Supply Chain Solutions  segment marginally declined by 0.3 percent to € 2.154 billion (2024: € 2.161 billion) in the first nine months. Project business revenue increased noticeably in the third quarter driven by the recovering order intake in the financial year. 

  Adjusted EBIT  on group level was € 575.4 million (2024: € 666.7 million) corresponding to an  adjusted EBIT margin  of 7.0 percent (2024: 7.9 percent). Adjusted EBIT in the  Industrial Trucks amp; Services  segment decreased to € 529.5 million (2024: € 672.9 million) with an adjusted EBIT margin of 8.7 percent (2024: 10.7 percent), mainly impacted by lower volumes and the year-on-year decline in the gross margin. With € 126.0 million,  Supply Chain Solutions  significantly increased adjusted EBIT year-on-year (2024: € 70.5 million) with an adjusted EBIT margin of 5.8 percent (2024: 3.3 percent). Key drivers of the increase in profitability were sustained growth in the service business and solid project execution. 

  Net income  was € 167.1 million (2024: € 255.6 million), significantly impacted by non-recurring items in the reporting period. With € 392.8 million (2024: € 431.3 million),  free cash flow  was at a high level. 

 As published on Thursday, 23 rd  October, the one-time expenses for the efficiency program are expected to decrease to € 170 to 190 million, which is lower than originally anticipated (previously: € 240 to 260 million). The savings target remains nearly unchanged at € 140 to 150 million. 

  Outlook  

 Based on business performance in the period under review, the Executive Board of KION GROUP AG has refined its outlook for 2025 that was published in the 2024 annual report with regard to revenue, adjusted EBIT, and ROCE. The expectations for the Group and the two operating segments have been firmed up within the forecast ranges that were originally published. Furthermore, the Executive Board of KION GROUP AG has raised the outlook for the Group’s free cash flow. This is because a material proportion of the non-recurring expenses from implementation of the efficiency program is not expected to impact on cash flow until the first quarter of 2026. Moreover, these expenses are likely to be between € 170 million and € 190 million overall, which is lower than originally anticipated (previously: € 240 million to € 260 million). 

 This assessment of the projected performance of the Group and its operating segments is contingent on there being no significant disruption to KION’s supply chains as a result of trade barriers, especially tariffs and restrictions on access to critical commodities.

KION showcases physical AI turning real-time data into real-world warehouse performance at CeMAT Shanghai (news with additional features)

    KION showcases physical AI turning real-time data into real-world warehouse performance at CeMAT Shanghai   

   Deepening cooperation with NVIDIA and Accenture to bring physical AI into day-to-day warehouse operations  
   Rob Smith, CEO of KION GROUP AG: “We present a seamless, end-to-end automated logistics flow, demonstrating our leadership in intelligent warehouse automation.”  
   Solution digitally represented in NVIDIA’s Omniverse, combined with the ability to run an infinite number of scenarios defining the ideal layout of a warehouse   
   
  Frankfurt am Main/Shanghai, October 28, 2025 – As part of the large-scale collaboration with NVIDIA and Accenture to reinvent industrial automation, KION, the Supply Chain Solutions Company, showcases an advanced physical AI-powered Omniverse solution at CeMAT Shanghai from October 28-31. 

 Fair visitors will experience how AI-driven industrial trucks and digital twins can transform supply chain operations, and how warehouses can think, adapt, and optimize in real time – improving flow, safety, and space utilization while lowering operating cost. The showcase has been enhanced through deeper systems integration and best in class autonomy features deriving from KION’s ongoing collaboration with NVIDIA and Accenture, being a milestone of KION’s path to an adaptive, autonomous material handling standard for customers worldwide. 

 KION brand Linde Material Handling presents a fully integrated goods-in and goods-out solution including lorry loading in a warehouse, featuring autonomous mobile robots (AMR) and a manual truck, all AI-powered. One of the AMRs is a third-party vehicle, demonstrating the full compatibility with KION’s solutions. This underlines KION’s commitment to open, interoperable solutions and customer flexibility. The solution is orchestrated by a fleet manager and a warehouse management system. 

 “Physical AI turns data into action, orchestrating people, robots, and systems to lift throughput, cut idle time, and plan layouts with confidence. We’re turning warehouses into living and learning ecosystems”, said Rob Smith, CEO of KION GROUP AG. “By leveraging physical AI, KION designs, simulates, and optimizes the real options in our customers supply chains. Digital twins perform this in real time and serve as the control tower and blueprint for their physical twin counterparts.” 

  AI-driven industrial trucks and digital twins to transform supply chain solutions   

 The whole showcase is digitally represented in NVIDIA’s Omniverse, displaying the real-time localizations of the industrial trucks. On-board and stationary cameras run on NVIDIA hardware, capturing and processing live operational data. The solution works in an ever-evolving simulation environment, preparing to optimize vehicle coordination and route planning at scale. 

 Together, KION, NVIDIA, and Accenture are redefining how automation is designed, tested, and leveraged through physical AI, as announced in January and already demonstrated at LogiMAT in Germany and at GTC AI conference in the USA. With intelligent stationary cameras, autonomous forklifts, and the latest automation and robotics solutions, KION creates highly realistic, real-time digital twins in NVIDIA's Omniverse fed by live sensor and camera data.

    EcoVadis awards KION Group Platinum rating for sustainability commitment for the first time   

   Major success: KION Group receives EcoVadis Platinum medal for the first time, placing it among the top one percent of more than 150,000 companies assessed  
   Outstanding sustainability performance with 86 out of 100 points; an increase of 10 points year-on-year (2024: Gold)  
      

 Frankfurt am Main, October 08, 2025 – In September 2025, KION Group received the highest award from EcoVadis, the Platinum rating, for the first time. With 86 out of a possible 100 points, it significantly exceeded the previous year's performance (76 points and the Gold medal). 

 The KION Group is among the top one percent of the more than 150,000 companies rated by EcoVadis. The Group is following in the footsteps of its well-established brands, Linde Material Handling EMEA and STILL EMEA, which were awarded Platinum once again in 2025. This positive Group-wide development highlights the company’s steadfast commitment to its sustainability strategy. 

 EcoVadis' sustainability ratings are an important indicator for stakeholders of companies, particularly for suppliers and customers, and take into account criteria from the areas of environment, labor and human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement, based on international corporate social responsibility (CSR) standards. 

 Valeria Gargiulo, Chief People amp; Sustainability Officer of KION GROUP AG, says: “EcoVadis Platinum is an outstanding achievement by the KION team. It confirms that we are on the right track with the implementation of our sustainability strategy across all brands. The KION Group is not only a driver of innovation in intelligent supply chain solutions, but has also positioned itself and its brands at the forefront of the industry with its sustainability management.” 

 Achieving the Platinum medal for the first time underscores the progress made in all assessment categories. This includes, among other things, improved ESG reporting, additional certifications beyond ISO standards, and the continued Group-wide efforts to consistently align economic activities with social, environmental, and ethical standards. 

 Matthias Sieber, Vice President, Sustainability amp; HSE, adds: “This award recognizes the ongoing commitment of our entire workforce to not only consistently pursue our sustainability goals, but also to continue improving our performance in the future. EcoVadis sets standards for responsible and transparent business practices, against which we want to continue to measure ourselves. We are proud to be among the top one percent of companies assessed this year with our Platinum rating.”

KION with strong customer demand in the first half of the financial year 2025 (news with additional features)  






30.07.2025 / 06:53 CET/CEST 



The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.   

    KION with strong customer demand in the first half of the financial year 2025   

   Order intake increases to € 6.206 billion (H1 2024: € 5.079 billion)  
   Revenue slightly down to € 5.496 billion (H1 2024: € 5.736 billion)  
   Adj. EBIT at € 385.0 million (H1 2024: € 447.0 million)  
   Adj. EBIT margin at 7.0 percent (H1 2024: 7.8 percent)  
   Positive free cash flow of € 161.9 million (H1 2024: € 202.2 million)  
   Outlook confirmed  
  Frankfurt am Main, July 30, 2025 – In the second quarter of the financial year 2025, KION continued its trend of the first three months, reporting results in line with expectations. Despite ongoing considerable macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainties, customer demand increased: With € 6.206 billion (H1 2024: € 5.079 billion), order intake on KION level was considerably higher year-on-year. Revenue in both operating segments was slightly below prior year based on the lower level of the order book at the beginning of 2025. 

 “With a record order intake in Supply Chain Solutions in the second quarter of 2025 and all key performance indicators in line with our outlook in the first half of this financial year, we are well on track to reach our targets”, says Rob Smith, CEO of KION GROUP AG. “In a global economy that is highly digitally and physically interconnected, KION offers its customers the full spectrum of solutions to make their supply chains future-ready – flexible, resilient, and smart. KION is shaping world trade – globally, regionally, and locally – even in times of political and economic uncertainty.” 

  Order intake  at  Industrial Trucks amp; Services  was € 4.028 billion (H1 2024: € 3.770 billion), benefitting from both warehouse and counterbalance trucks in the new truck business and the continued growth in the service business. The significant increase in order intake at  Supply Chain Solutions  to € 2.201 billion (H1 2024: € 1.318 billion) included a record order intake of € 1.445 billion in the second quarter, driven by the project business and a continued growth in service business. 

  Group revenue  in the first half of 2025 slightly declined by 4.2 percent to € 5.496 billion year-on-year (H1 2024: € 5.736 billion). In the  Industrial Trucks amp; Services  segment, revenue declined by 4.0 percent to € 4.135 billion (H1 2024: € 4.306 billion), mainly due to the normalized order book. Revenue in the  Supply Chain Solutions  segment declined by 4.5 percent to € 1.385 billion (H1 2024: € 1.451 billion) due to the lower order intake in the project business in the previous quarters. The service business achieved a significant increase year-on-year. 

  Adjusted EBIT  on group level was € 385.0 million (H1 2024: € 447.0 million). The  adjusted EBIT margin  decreased to 7.0 percent (H1 2024: 7.8 percent). Adjusted EBIT in the  Industrial Trucks amp; Services  segment decreased to € 358.9 million (H1 2024: € 470.7 million) with an adjusted EBIT margin of 8.7 percent (H1 2024: 10.9 percent), mainly impacted by lower volumes and the year-on-year decline in the gross margin. At € 78.4 million,  Supply Chain Solutions  almost doubled adjusted EBIT year-on-year (H1 2024: € 42.1 million). The adjusted EBIT margin significantly improved to 5.7 percent (H1 2024: 2.9 percent). Key drivers of the increase in profitability were the strong growth in the service business and solid project execution. 

  Net income  was € 47.9 million (H1 2024: € 181.7 million), significantly impacted by provisions for the efficiency program announced in February 2025. With € 161.9 million (H1 2024: € 202.2 million),  free cash flow  was clearly positive. 

  Outlook  

 KION delivered a solid business performance overall in the first half of 2025. The current economic conditions are still subject to significant uncertainty. The ongoing international trade disputes have exacerbated geopolitical risks and their potential adverse impact on KION’s value chain and sales markets. 

 As at the reporting date, the Executive Board of KION GROUP AG confirms the target figures for 2025 that it had published in the outlook section of the 2024 annual report for the Group and the two operating segments. This assessment of the projected performance of the Group and its operating segments is contingent on there being no significant disruption to KION’s supply chains as a result of trade barriers, especially tariffs and restrictions on access to critical commodities.

 Frankfurt am Main, May 27, 2025 – Dr. Mohsen Sohi is the new Chairman of the Supervisory Board of KION GROUP AG. The internationally experienced chief executive succeeds Hans Peter Ring who retired after his term expired with effect from the end of the Annual General Meeting. 

 Dr. Sohi, born in 1959, is currently CEO of Freudenberg SE and Spokesman of the Board of Management of Freudenberg amp; Co. Kommanditgesellschaft and has extensive experience in the management of internationally oriented companies. Previously, Dr. Sohi was President and CEO of Freudenberg-NOK General Partnership in Plymouth, Michigan (USA) and held multiple senior executive positions at NCR Corporation and Honeywell. 

 The terms of office of Supervisory Board members Jiang Kui, Dr. Christina Reuter and Xu Ping ended on 27 May 2025. Jiang Kui has been elected for a further term. In addition, Dr. Nicolas Peter resigned from his office as a member of the Supervisory Board. The appointment of Dr. Sun Shaojun has been confirmed by the vote of the shareholders.

Even in times of uncertainty, we are at the heart of the world's supply chains. We ensure that supply chains reach their full potential: fast, efficient, intelligent, sustainable, and resilient.” Smith looked back on the 2024 financial year, which the KION Group closed with strong results. With regards to macroeconomic volatility and trade conflicts he added: “Our Industrial Trucks amp; Services and Supply Chain Solutions segments drive our growth with their in-depth knowledge of regional and local markets. We produce local for local and local for global close to our customers in every region – and are therefore well prepared for shifting geopolitical scenarios.”

 Around 120 shareholders represented more than 80 percent of the share capital at the Annual General Meeting. The majority of shareholders approved all of the proposals put forward by the Supervisory Board and Executive Board, including the dividend distribution of € 0.82 per share (previous year: € 0.70 per share), which corresponds to a payout ratio of around 30 percent.

KION opens highly automated spare parts distribution center in Kahl am Main (news with additional features)  






16.05.2025 / 09:34 CET/CEST

    KION opens highly automated spare parts distribution center in Kahl am Main   

   Distribution center ensures even faster and more reliable spare parts supply for customers  
   Total investment volume of around € 90 million  
   KION brands Dematic and Linde Material Handling equip the facility with state-of-the-art warehouse technology  
   Andreas Krinninger, President KION ITS EMEA: “The new distribution center not only improves our service quality and delivery performance, but also strengthens the resilience and sustainability of our supply chain.”  
      

 Frankfurt am Main/Kahl am Main, May 16, 2025 – The KION Group today opened its new KION Regional Distribution Center Central Europe (KION RDC CE) at its site in Kahl am Main. The investment volume for the highly automated spare parts distribution center was around € 90 million. With the new center, KION is strengthening its presence in Central Europe and taking an important step toward optimizing its supply chains. 

 “The highly automated KION Regional Distribution Center Central Europe will enable us to ensure a fast and reliable supply of spare parts for our customers in Germany and neighboring markets in the long term,” says Andreas Krinninger, President KION ITS EMEA. “This lighthouse project demonstrates the comprehensive capabilities of the KION Group and combines state-of-the-art automation, digitalization, safety, and energy technologies from our two segments – Industrial Trucks amp; Services and Supply Chain Solutions. The new spare parts distribution center not only improves our service quality and delivery performance, but also strengthens the resilience and sustainability of our supply chain.” 

  Lighthouse project for integrated solutions of the KION segments ITS and SCS  

 The new spare parts distribution center is a pioneering project for integrated solutions of the KION Group. Covering an area of around 22,000 square meters, it demonstrates the full range of the Group's capabilities – from leading automation and digital technology to state-of-the-art safety and energy solutions and seamlessly integrated material flow systems. The complex construction project was realized in close cooperation between the KION brands Linde Material Handling and Dematic, which also act as integrated solution providers for large-scale customer projects. 

 “Thanks to the close cooperation and the combined expertise of both segments, we were able to implement a solution that meets the highest standards of efficiency, flexibility, energy savings, safety, and transparency. This enables us to offer our customers tangible added value through higher availability and faster delivery of spare parts, while at the same time creating a future-proof, sustainable infrastructure for our spare parts logistics,” says Krinninger. 

 The warehouse layout has been specifically designed for maximum efficiency and flexibility. It features a 30-meter-high, fully automated high-bay warehouse with six aisles and a high-performance multishuttle system with around 110,000 storage locations. The equipment is complemented by an intelligent material flow system with continuous conveyor technology from Dematic, autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), and industrial trucks from Linde Material Handling, which enable fast and precise processing of customer orders. 

  Economic efficiency and environmental responsibility combined  

 The new distribution center in Kahl am Main is not only a key project for the KION Group, but also a major infrastructure project for the region that fully meets social, economic, and environmental standards. The Kahl site has been of key operational importance for decades and offers ideal conditions for reliable spare parts supply to customers: a central location in Europe, excellent transport links, and proximity to the Linde Material Handling site in Aschaffenburg and Dematic in Heusenstamm. 

 The conversion of the existing site has resulted in a state-of-the-art, sustainable building that features CO₂-free heating, a photovoltaic system for power generation, environmentally friendly construction methods, additional surface sealing, and other comprehensive ecological compensation measures. The project was supported from the beginning by the municipality of Kahl, the local plant management, the works council, and the workforce. Many employees live in the region, and the new distribution center is creating additional skilled jobs locally. 

 “With our new distribution center, we have not only created a state-of-the-art logistics facility, but also sent a strong signal to the region. The investment of around € 90 million is a clear commitment to the Kahl site with its highly dedicated team and the very supportive cooperation with the local community. I am particularly proud of the sustainable construction and the high level of local acceptance. The distribution center is a project for the future – for the KION Group and for the region,” says Markus Kellermann, Head of the Kahl site and Project Manager for the design and implementation.

KION starts in 2025 with solid customer demand amidst increasing global geopolitical uncertainties (news with additional features)  






30.04.2025 / 06:53 CET/CEST 



The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.   

    KION starts in 2025 with solid customer demand amidst increasing global geopolitical uncertainties   

   Order intake increases to € 2.706 billion (Q1 2024: € 2.439 billion)  
   Revenue slightly down to € 2.788 billion (Q1 2024: € 2.859 billion)  
   Adj. EBIT at € 195.5 million (Q1 2024: € 226.7 million)  
   Adj. EBIT margin at 7.0 percent (Q1 2024: 7.9 percent)  
   Positive free cash flow of € 29.7 million (Q1 2024: € 65.7 million)  
   Outlook confirmed – subject to no significant deterioration in the overall economic environment  
      

 Frankfurt am Main, April 30, 2025 – In the first quarter of 2025, KION's key performance indicators developed in line with expectations for the financial year. Based on the lower level of the order book at the beginning of the year, revenue in both operating segments was slightly below the prior-year level. Despite the increasing economic uncertainties associated with the threat of trade conflicts and geopolitical tensions, customer demand was higher year-on-year in the first quarter 2025 in both operating segments. 

 “In a volatile environment, we had a solid start into the year in line with our outlook. KION is shaping world trade – globally, regionally, and locally – even in times of political and economic uncertainty”, says Rob Smith, CEO of KION GROUP AG. “Our company is well-positioned for shifting geopolitical scenarios. We have done our homework expanding our capacities in production, Ramp;D and sales and service networks in the APAC and Americas regions. We produce local for local, and local for global and are managing the dynamic tariff situation in an agile manner.” 

 With € 2.706 billion (Q1 2024: € 2.439 billion),  order intake  on KION level was higher year-on-year driven by both segments. Order intake at  Industrial Trucks amp; Services  was € 1.958 billion (Q1 2024: € 1.804 billion) and benefited from both the new truck business and the continued growth of service business. The significant increase in order intake at  Supply Chain Solutions  to € 755.7 million (Q1 2024: € 641.6 million) was mainly due to the strong growth in modernization and upgrade projects reported in the service business. 

  Group revenue  in the first quarter of 2025 slightly declined by 2.5 percent to € 2.788 billion year-on-year (Q1 2024: € 2.859 billion). In the  Industrial Trucks amp; Services  segment, revenue declined by 1.7 percent to € 2.116 billion (Q1 2024: € 2.153 billion), mainly due to the normalizing order book. Revenue in the  Supply Chain Solutions  segment declined by 4.3 percent to € 687.7 million (Q1 2024: € 718.9 million) due to the lower order intake in the project business in the previous quarters. Service business achieved a significant increase in revenue year-on-year. 

  Adjusted EBIT  on group level reached € 195.5 million (Q1 2024: € 226.7 million). The  adjusted EBIT margin  decreased to 7.0 percent (Q1 2024: 7.9 percent). Adjusted EBIT in the  Industrial Trucks amp; Services  segment decreased to € 185.5 million (Q1 2024: € 239.7 million) with an adjusted EBIT margin of 8.8 percent (Q1 2024: 11.1 percent), mainly due to lower volumes and the year-on-year decline in the gross margin. At € 36.4 million,  Supply Chain Solutions  almost doubled adjusted EBIT year-on-year (Q1 2024: € 18.4 million). The adjusted EBIT margin significantly improved to 5.3 percent (Q1 2024: 2.6 percent). Key drivers of the increase in profitability were the growth in service business and solid project execution. 

 As announced in February 2025, KION initiated an efficiency program in EMEA to achieve sustainable cost savings of around € 140 million to € 160 million per year, fully effective in 2026. For the implementation of the cost saving measures one-off expenses in the amount of approximately € 240 million to € 260 million are expected in the financial year 2025, of which € 191.5 million were recorded in the first quarter 2025. This had a significant impact on  net income  which was € -46.9 million (Q1 2024: € 111.0 million). 
  

  Outlook  

 KION started the financial year 2025 in line with expectations. Looking ahead, the economic environment is characterized by considerable uncertainty. The escalating trade conflict is increasing geopolitical risks and has potential negative effects on KION’s value chain and markets. 

 KION has expanded its production, research and development, and sales and service network capacities in the APAC and Americas regions to prepare for shifting geopolitical scenarios. 

 As of today, the Executive Board of KION GROUP AG confirms the outlook for the financial year 2025 for the Group and the two operating segments as published in its annual report in February, subject to the condition that there is no significant deterioration in the overall economic environment.

KION presents AI Control Tower at GTC in San José, California (news with additional features)  






19.03.2025 / 08:43 CET/CEST

    KION presents AI Control Tower at GTC in San José, California   

   First solution of physical AI industrial Digital Twin in cooperation with NVIDIA and Accenture demonstrates the potential of emerging AI technology for application to automated intralogistics  
   Solution to give customers the ability to run an infinite number of scenarios of their supply chain, constantly optimizing their operations   
   Rob Smith, CEO of KION GROUP AG: “Our Digital Twin serves as the single source of truth for understanding and improving complex supply chain solutions.”  
      

 Frankfurt am Main/San José, March 19, 2025 – The KION Group is showcasing the application of physical AI to its new Solution Center at the GTC 2025 AI conference in San José, California, 17-21 March. As part of its large-scale collaboration with NVIDIA and Accenture, KION's subsidiary Dematic is demonstrating its “AI Control Tower”, which is represented in a digital twin built with NVIDIA Omniverse technologies and the Mega Omniverse Blueprint. 

 The Digital Twin replicates the physical equipment within Dematic’s Solution Center, and will be deployed alongside Dematic’s Control Tower components, providing deep-insight analytics of complex inter-process dynamics. Together these technologies allow the real-time controlling logic for material and order flow scenarios to be explored within a virtualized environment. The goal is to transform supply chain operations by improving efficiency, adaptability, and cost effectiveness. At GTC, visitors will be able to see the interactive dashboard in action, using Dematic's Grand Rapids Solution Center and its Digital Twin as the model. Accenture developed both the Omniverse representation of Dematic’s Digital Twin and the interactive dashboard. 

 “Our Digital Twin serves as the single source of truth for understanding and improving complex supply chain solutions – before, during and after installation”, said Rob Smith, CEO of KION GROUP AG. “Together with NVIDIA technology, our solution will allow our customers to use the power of physical AI to save huge amounts of time, capex and operating cost and gives them the ability to constantly adapt their operations to the changing conditions in their supply chains.” 

  Digital Conceptualization of a Solution Design   

 The Digital Twin will enable Dematic's project teams to validate controls and software prior to on-site installation, significantly accelerating the go-live and ramp-up phases. Customers will be able to conceptualize the physical layouts and dynamic material flows of a solution design before it is built. After construction, operators can run an infinite number of scenarios on the Digital Twin of their site to explore planned or actual changes in their business profile, including seasonal variations. 

 As announced in January, KION, NVIDIA, and Accenture collaborate to leverage physical AI with intelligent stationary cameras and autonomous forklifts, and the latest automation and robotics solutions to create highly realistic digital twins with NVIDIA Omniverse. This will enable customers to digitally map every asset in their warehouse in real time – from manual forklifts and autonomous vehicles to the exact location of goods. Combined with the ability to run an infinite number of scenarios, this will help customers define ideal layouts for new warehouses and improve warehouse management by predicting peak loads, ensuring worker safety, and more effectively planning the use of resources. 

 Last week, March 11-13, at LogiMAT in Stuttgart, Germany, KION subsidiary Linde Material Handling introduced its first physical AI-powered solution, built with NVIDIA Omniverse and the Mega blueprint, to optimize vehicle coordination and route planning at scale, with AI-powered trucks capturing and processing live operational data inside a digital twin.

    KION presents physical AI solution at LogiMAT in Stuttgart   

   First solution of the cooperation with NVIDIA and Accenture demonstrates AI-powered industrial trucks and their digital twin  
   Rob Smith, CEO of KION GROUP AG: “By leveraging physical AI, KION designs, simulates, and optimizes the real options in our customers supply chains.”  
   Solution digitally represented in NVIDIA’s Omniverse, combined with the ability to run an infinite number of scenarios defining the ideal layout of a warehouse   
   
  Frankfurt am Main/Stuttgart, March 11, 2025 – The KION Group, as part of a large-scale collaboration with NVIDIA and Accenture to reinvent industrial automation, introduces its first physical AI-powered Omniverse solution at LogiMAT 2025 in Stuttgart, Germany, from March 11-13. This milestone demonstrates how AI-driven industrial trucks and digital twins can transform supply chain operations by enhancing efficiency, adaptability, and cost-effectiveness. 

 At LogiMAT, KION subsidiary Linde Material Handling presents a fully integrated goods-in solution, featuring an autonomous mobile robot (AMR) and a manual truck, both AI-powered. The solution is digitally represented in NVIDIA’s Omniverse, displaying the real-time localizations of the industrial trucks. The on-board and stationary cameras run on NVIDIA hardware, capturing and processing live operational data. The whole solution works in an ever-evolving simulation environment, preparing to optimize vehicle coordination and route planning at scale. Additionally, the trucks include app capabilities that enable continuous software upgrades for functionalities such as enhanced person recognition and obstacle avoidance. 

 “In global trade, in the world’s supply chains and logistics centers, conditions are constantly changing. By leveraging physical AI, KION designs, simulates, and optimizes the real options in our customers supply chains. Digital twins perform this in real time and serve as the control tower and blueprint for their physical twin counterparts”, said Rob Smith, CEO of KION GROUP AG. “This saves huge amounts of time, capex and operating cost for our customers and gives them the ability to constantly adapt their operations to the changing conditions in their supply chains.” 

 As announced in January, the three companies cooperate to leverage physical AI with intelligent stationary cameras, autonomous forklifts, and the latest automation and robotics solutions to create highly realistic, real-time digital twins in NVIDIA's Omniverse fed by live sensor and camera data. This enables customers to digitally map every asset in their warehouse in real time – from manual forklifts, autonomous robots and the exact locations of goods. Combined with the ability to run an infinite amount of scenarios, this will help customers define ideal layouts for new warehouses and improve warehouse management by predicting peak loads, ensuring worker safety, and more effectively planning the use of resources.

    KION with strong financial year 2024: significant increase in profitability   

   Revenue increases slightly to € 11.503 billion (2023: € 11.434 billion)  
   Strong adj. EBIT with € 917.2 million (2023: € 790.5 million)  
   Adj. EBIT margin of 8.0 percent (2023: 6.9 percent)  
   Free cash flow of € 702.0 million (2023: € 715.2 million)   
   Dividend proposal of € 0.82     per share (2023: € 0.70)   
  Frankfurt am Main, February 27th, 2025 – The KION Group finished the financial year 2024 with consistent operating performance and strong financial results: With slightly improved revenue of € 11.503 billion (2023: € 11.434 billion), adjusted EBIT significantly increased to € 917.2 million (2023: € 790.5 million). The adjusted EBIT margin rose to 8.0 percent (2023: 6.9 percent). Free cash flow was € 702.0 million (2023: € 715.2 million), driven by the strong results and a substantial decrease in net working capital. Net income increased year on year to € 369.2 million (2023: € 314.4 million). 

 “We have made very good progress in both operating segments and on KION level since the difficult year 2022, which was impacted by high inflation and severe supply chain disruptions. Our operational and commercial agility measures and our strategic focus on innovation, digitalization and artificial intelligence have proven to be successful, and 2024 was a strong year for us,” said Rob Smith, CEO of KION GROUP AG. “We were able to return the adjusted EBIT margin of the Industrial Trucks amp; Services segment to double-digits during the past two years while the margin of the Supply Chain Solutions segment has been continuously improving. With our recently launched efficiency program and the consistent implementation of our strategy we are well on track to bring KION and both operating segments to more than 10 percent adjusted EBIT margin by the end of our current strategic planning period in 2027.” 

 The  Industrial Trucks amp; Services  segment increased revenue by 1.5 percent to € 8.609 billion (2023: € 8.480 billion), mainly driven by the service business. Revenue in the  Supply Chain Solutions  segment declined by 1.8 percent to € 2.943 billion (2023: € 2.997 billion) due to subdued order intake in the project business (Business Solutions) during recent quarters while the service business (Customer Services) continued to grow. 

 The adjusted EBIT margin of  Industrial Trucks amp; Services  was 10.7 percent (2023: 10.0 percent), following an adjusted EBIT of € 917.5 million (2023: € 848.5 million).  Supply Chain Solutions  more than doubled the adjusted EBIT margin to 3.8 percent (2023: 1.5 percent) based on an adjusted EBIT of € 112.9 million (2023: € 44.3 million). 

 KION shareholders will benefit from the strong financial year 2024: The Executive Board and Supervisory Board of KION GROUP AG will propose a  dividend  of € 0.82 (2023: € 0.70) per share for the 2024 financial year at the Annual General Meeting on May 27, 2025. This corresponds to a total dividend payout of € 107.5 million. The payout ratio amounts to around 30 percent on earnings per share of € 2.75 for the 2024 financial year and remains within the targeted payout corridor of 25 percent to 40 percent. 

  Outlook  

 Against the backdrop of the current volatile geopolitical and macroeconomic environment, the Executive Board expects the core key performance indicators of the KION Group and its operating segments to be within the following ranges in 2025:

   1 Disclosures for the Industrial Trucks amp; Services and Supply Chain Solutions segments also include intra-group cross-segment revenue and effects on EBIT. 
         

 The Group outlook for revenue and adjusted EBIT reflects a “look-through” year for ITS and continued profitability improvements in SCS. The outlook for free cash flow includes the expected one-time cash-out in 2025 for the recently launched efficiency program. 

 The revenue and adjusted EBIT development in the ITS segment will be impacted by a now normalized order book resulting in lower new truck business. This will likely not be fully compensated by the expected continued growth in the service business. The anticipated continued shift toward entry-level warehouse trucks as well as intensifying competition is also expected to impact the development in 2025 while the recently launched efficiency program in EMEA will be fully effective in 2026. 

 The revenue outlook for the SCS segment reflects anticipated growth in services whereas project business is expected to decrease slightly due to the lower order book at year-end 2024. The outlook for adjusted EBIT for the SCS segment benefits from reduced impact from legacy project backlog, improved project execution, savings resulting from capacity adjustments already made as well as continued growth in services.

    KION GROUP AG included in Dow Jones Best-in-Class Europe Index as one of Europe's top sustainability performers   

   KION GROUP AG included in renowned Dow Jones Best-in-Class Europe Index for the first time  
   KION GROUP AG selected as a member of the Samp;P Global Sustainability Yearbook for the third consecutive year  
   Improvement in the Samp;P Global CSA 2024 as the best rating for KION GROUP AG since participation  
   
Frankfurt am Main, February 12, 2025 – KION GROUP AG has qualified for the renowned  Dow Jones Best-in-Class Europe Index  (formerly the Dow Jones Sustainability Europe Index) for the first time at the end of 2024. 

 The index comprises European sustainability leaders as identified by Samp;P Global through the Corporate Sustainability Assessment (CSA) and includes only the best sustainability performers in each industry. KION’s inclusion is a significant milestone that underscores the Group's commitment to long-term shareholder value. It recognizes KION's pledge and transformation towards sustainability excellence in the environmental, social and governance (ESG) dimensions. 

 "Being included in the Dow Jones Best-in-Class Europe Index for the first time is not only a great incentive for our work, but also proves that we are on the right track," said Valeria Gargiulo, Chief People amp; Sustainability Officer, KION Group. "As a global leader in intralogistics and supply chains, we recognize our responsibility to make our company more sustainable and to help our customers and partners achieve their own sustainability goals.” 

  Inclusion in Samp;P Global Sustainability Yearbook for third consecutive year

Among other industries, the Samp;P Global Sustainability Yearbook 2025 recognizes the top 15 percent of the IEQ Machinery and Electrical Equipment industry for their sustainability efforts. 

  KION's best ever Samp;P Global CSA score as basis for inclusion  

 In 2024, KION GROUP AG improved its score in the  Samp;P Global CSA  within its industry (IEQ Machinery and Electrical Equipment) to an overall score of 64/100, its best result to date (2023: 61/100). KION is proud to have achieved a score of 58/100 in the environmental dimension and 67/100 each in the social and governance amp; economic dimensions. 

 The Samp;P Global CSA is the basis for inclusion in the Samp;P Sustainability Yearbook and a key factor in the transparent, rules-based selection process for constituents of the Dow Jones Best-in-Class Indices, one of the longest-running and globally recognized sustainability benchmarks. As of December 31, 2024, the Dow Jones Best-in-Class Europe Index comprises 147 European companies that have been identified as sustainability leaders in their respective industries.

   KION with strong financial year 2024 – efficiency program resolved to strengthen resilience   

   Preliminary and unaudited group results for the financial year 2024 published – significant increase in profitability  
   Executive Board resolves efficiency program to maintain headroom for future investments   
   
Frankfurt am Main, February 4, 2025 – The KION Group finished the financial year 2024 with strong results: With slightly improved revenue of € 11.5 billion (2023: € 11.4 billion), adjusted EBIT significantly increased to € 917 million (2023: € 791 million). The adjusted EBIT margin was at 8.0 percent (2023: 6.9 percent), free cash flow at € 702 million (2023: € 715 million). In order to secure this momentum and to maintain the company’s headroom for investments, the Executive Board of KION GROUP AG today resolved an efficiency program. In a fast-changing macroeconomic and geopolitical environment, KION is committed to extend its leading role in the market. 

 “KION is at a pivotal moment in its history. Our preliminary results of the financial year 2024 prove that in a challenging environment we can deliver a strong performance,” said Rob Smith, CEO of KION GROUP AG. “KION is a recognized leader in its markets, strongly valued across our customer base and by our partners. We are the first in the industry to work with NVIDIA’s physical AI, creating the warehouse of the future and reshaping our industry. To further drive our development of solutions in both segments to cover future requirements from our customers, we will develop an even more resilient and agile company.”  

  Structural measures to optimize KION’s efficiency   

 The efficiency program is addressing developments in the macroeconomic environment. European economies are struggling to gain momentum – this affects key customer industries in the Industrial Trucks amp; Services segment, where Chinese competitors have been improving their market position in the aftermaths of the recent pandemics. While internal programs to continuously improve product, production and services costs were already up and running throughout 2024 and will continue, further structural measures will address a more efficient setup for KION in Europe. This is expected to have an impact on personnel requirements subject to consultations with the respective employee representative bodies as required by local laws. 

 The efficiency program aims to achieve sustainable cost savings of around € 140 million to € 160 million per year, fully effective in the 2026 financial year. For the implementation of the cost saving measures one-off expenses in the amount of approximately € 240 million to € 260 million are expected in the financial year 2025. The vast majority is expected to be cash-effective in the financial year 2025 as well. 

 Christian Harm, CFO of KION GROUP AG, adds: “In order to maintain headroom for investments ensuring our future, to further strengthen our competitiveness and our resilience, we must manage our cost base. This requires structural and sustainable measures.”

   KION Teams with NVIDIA and Accenture to Optimize Supply Chains with AI-Powered Robots and Digital Twins   

   The three companies jointly showcase warehouse of the future at CES 2025   
   Rob Smith, CEO of KION GROUP AG: “We’re leveraging physical AI—making supply chains smarter, faster, and ready for the future.”  
   Building physical AI-powered digital twins used to improve productivity and functional design of warehouses with NVIDIA software  
  Frankfurt am Main and Las Vegas, January 7, 2025 – KION Group (ETR: KGX), the Supply Chain Solutions Company, is working with Accenture (NYSE: ACN) to optimize supply chains using NVIDIA’s (NASDAQ: NVDA) advanced AI and simulation technologies. At the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, the three companies are showcasing 1  how clients can both define ideal set-ups for new warehouses and continuously enhance existing facilities with Mega, an NVIDIA Omniverse blueprint for large-scale industrial digital twins. This includes a digital twin powered by physical AI – AI models that embody principles and qualities of the physical world – to improve the performance of intelligent warehouses that operate with automated forklifts, smart cameras and the latest automation and robotics solutions. 

 “At KION, we leverage AI-driven solutions as an integral part of our strategy to optimize our customers’ supply chains and increase their productivity,” said Rob Smith, CEO of KION GROUP AG. “With NVIDIA’s AI leadership and Accenture’s expertise in digital technologies, we are reinventing warehouse automation. Bringing these strong partners together, we are creating a vision for future warehouses that are part of a smart agile system, evolve with the world around them, and can handle nearly any supply chain challenge. This collaboration underscores our commitment to innovation and pushing the boundaries of industrial automation to usher in a new era of supply chain efficiency.” 

 “Modernizing supply chains to make them more resilient and agile, with real-time flexibility, is the next digital frontier,” said Julie Sweet, chair and CEO, Accenture. “This collaboration with our long-term client KION and partner NVIDIA will break exciting new ground in not only reinventing the warehouse, but also in raising their performance standards with technology, data and AI, helping our clients operate autonomous, safe supply chains that better serve their customers and consumers, enhance productivity and efficiency and create new value.” 

 “Future warehouses will function like massive autonomous robots, orchestrating fleets of robots within them,” said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA. “By integrating Omniverse and Mega into their solutions, KION and Accenture can dramatically accelerate the development of industrial AI and autonomy for the world’s distribution and logistics ecosystem.” 

  Taking Advantage of Digital Twins to Plan Warehouses and Train Robots   

 Today’s warehouses and fulfillment centers combine workers, autonomous vehicles, and fully automated systems. Managing these complex environments requires a delicate balance of precision and adaptability—a challenge compounded by fluctuating demand and shifting inventory needs. 

 Using NVIDIA Omniverse and Mega, KION will be able to provide digital twins of warehouses that allows facility operators to design the most efficient and safe warehouse configuration without interrupting operations for testing. This includes optimizing the number of robots, workers, and automation equipment. The digital twin provides a testing ground for all aspects of warehouse operations, including facility layouts, the behavior of robot fleets, and the optimal number of workers and intelligent vehicles. 

 The digital twin doesn’t stop at simulating and testing configurations. It also trains the warehouse robots to handle changing conditions such as demand, inventory fluctuation and layout changes in the best possible way.   Integrated with KION’s warehouse management software, the digital twin assigns tasks like moving goods from buffer zones to storage locations to virtual robots. Powered by advanced AI, the virtual robots plan, execute, and refine these tasks in a continuous loop, simulating and ultimately optimizing real-world operations with infinite scenarios. For the CES showcase, Accenture developed an interactive application that tracks how digital robot fleet and facility planning and testing enhances warehouse key performance indicators, such as throughput, task completion time, safety incidents and error rates. 

 As a next step, the partners are working to integrate the digital twin with a fine-tuned vision language model to capture real time insights from warehouses, reducing the risk of bottlenecks, accidents and other unforeseen events, pairing cameras, robots and NVIDIA NIM, a set of services for deployment of foundation models to edge devices in the warehouse.  

 In essence, the warehouse of the future will create an environment where both human workers and machines can collaborate seamlessly and safely. It predicts, visualizes and adopts to potential issues and generates data-driven insights for operators. This ultimately helps clients design warehouses that are not only more efficient but also more resilient. 

  1  The AI and robotics-powered warehouse is showcased at CES at the Accenture Innovation Hub in Ballroom "F" of The Venetian Convention and Expo Center, 201 Sands Ave, Las Vegas. Please contact jennifer.francis@accenture.com to receive a demonstration.
