The 4.9 per cent strategic investment recognises EP Equipment’s growth, lithium-ion expertise and distinctive global business model
EP Equipment welcomes Jungheinrich AG’s acquisition of a 4.9 per cent stake in Zhejiang EP Equipment Co., Ltd. The investment advances the partnership launched in May 2025 under the motto “Shaping the Future of Material Handling Together” and will deepen cooperation in technology, product development and innovation.
A strong vote of confidence in EP’s model
EP Equipment has grown into a global material handling player with leading capabilities in lithium-ion technology, rapid product development, scalable manufacturing and market-driven innovation. In 2025, revenue increased by 10.7 per cent to RMB 7.25 billion.
EP combines the speed and efficiency of Chinese engineering and manufacturing with high standards in product safety, quality and compliance, strong regional operations, local service and a global partner network. Jungheinrich’s investment endorses this distinctive model and EP’s future direction.
The cooperation creates value in both directions. Jungheinrich benefits from EP’s development speed, lithium-ion expertise and globally scalable products. EP gains experience from Jungheinrich’s engineering, testing, quality and certification processes and will use these lessons to strengthen its own standards, processes and capabilities.
Complementary customer access worldwide
Jungheinrich’s international direct sales and service organisation and EP’s global dealer and partner network provide complementary routes to customers worldwide. Together, the companies can address a broader range of markets, applications and customer needs.
For EP’s partners, the investment recognises the strength of the network they have helped to build. EP will keep investing in differentiated products, regional support, automation and digital lead generation to strengthen partner competitiveness and growth.
By combining innovation, engineering expertise, global manufacturing and complementary customer access, both companies aim to create greater value and continue shaping the future of material handling together.
