Following the acquisition of Hinowa in 2023, the AUSA acquisition further supports Oshkosh’s growth strategy and strengthens the JLG equipment portfolio
JLG Industries parent company Oshkosh Corporation has completed the acquisition of AUSA, adding the brand’s compact all-terrain machines for transport and material handling to the company’s Access segment.
JLG is a global manufacturer of mobile elevating work platforms (MEWPs) and telehandlers.
Following the acquisition of aerial platform company Hinowa in 2023, the AUSA acquisition further supports the Oshkosh growth strategy and strengthens the JLG equipment portfolio.
Established in 1956, AUSA specialises in designing, manufacturing and selling wheeled dumpers, rough terrain forklifts and compact telehandlers for the residential, civil and road construction industry and the transportation and handling of industrial and agricultural materials.
The acquisition included AUSA’s 23,000 square metre manufacturing facility in Barcelona, Spain, as well as about 350 team members and its access to 200 equipment dealers worldwide.
Standards
“AUSA’s culture of innovation and quality matches the same standards we hold,” says JLG president Mahesh Narang.
“Our shared core values around safety, productivity and sustainability position us well for the future. Together, we will work diligently, as both companies always have, to meet the needs of our customers.”
JLG and AUSA have collaborated since 2020, bringing the SkyTrak 3013 to market together.
The acquisition is expected to see AUSA products enhance JLG’s line of telehandlers and complement Hinowa’s line of tracked dumpers and forklifts.
“Our combined capabilities, market leadership positions and complementary product offerings provide a more comprehensive solution to address market needs, expand our operational footprint and unlock growth opportunities worldwide,” adds Narang.
“The acquisitions of AUSA and Hinowa help JLG create an organisation that can better serve customers globally.”
