Jungheinrich, a global leader in intralogistics, today announced the Asia-Pacific (APAC) launch of AntOn by Jungheinrich. This new brand is specifically engineered for businesses seeking reliable, straightforward, and cost-effective material handling solutions to power their everyday operations.
The launch addresses the rapid growth of the APAC “value” segment, which is projected to expand by 8.1% by 2030. This growth is driven by accelerating industrialization in Southeast Asia and India, alongside the modernization of supply chains in Australia and New Zealand.
AntOn by Jungheinrich combines German-engineered safety standards with localized efficiency. As sustainability and fleet modernization initiatives accelerate across the region, the brand focuses on high-performance lithium-ion solutions that offer a low total cost of ownership (TCO).
The initial AntOn portfolio includes:
-
Electric Forklifts (CBH 2.0, CBM 2.5, 3.0, and 3.5): Robust units offering load capacities from 2,000 kg to 3,500 kg, travel speeds up to 17 km/h, and advanced lithium-ion batteries for rapid charging and zero maintenance.
-
PTL 1.5 Pallet Truck: A compact 1,500 kg capacity truck featuring an additional battery slot for continuous, multi-shift performance.
The introduction of AntOn comes as manufacturing and warehousing demands shift across the continent:
-
India & Southeast Asia: Rapid growth in e-commerce, retail distribution, and infrastructure projects—such as Thailand’s Land Bridge—is driving the need for scalable, electric fleet solutions. India’s warehouse market alone is projected to reach USD 34.99 billion by 2027.
-
Australia & New Zealand: Rising operating costs and ESG expectations are pushing a transition from internal combustion engines to electric lithium-ion technology.
-
China: Continues to show steady growth with a projected 6% CAGR, remaining a high-volume cornerstone of the regional market.
“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 looking for straightforward solutions for typical warehouse and transport requirements.”
Manojit Acharya, Vice President, Jungheinrich APAC, highlighted the brand’s accessibility: “AntOn extends our offering to customers for whom simplicity and value matter most. Supported by our established parts and service network, we are delivering solutions that get the job done. We are also inviting distributors to join the AntOn partner network, supported by dedicated management and best-in-class relationship tools.”
Following a successful European debut, AntOn by Jungheinrich is now available across Asia-Pacific through a multi-channel approach, including e-commerce, direct sales, and a network of selected partners and distributors. This launch reinforces Jungheinrich’s Strategy 2030+ vision to make high-quality intralogistics accessible to a broader range of global businesses.
