NACCO name change
Lift truck expert, NACCO Materials Handling Group Inc, a subsidiary of Hyster-Yale Materials Handling Inc, will change its corporate name to Hyster-Yale Group Inc from January 2016.
The name change is designed to reinforce Hyster-Yale Group’s position as the operating company under Hyster-Yale Materials Handling, Inc. It will also eliminate any confusion created by continuing to use NACCO in the operating company name subsequent to the 2012 spin-off of Hyster-Yale Materials Handling from NACCO Industries, Inc.
“While our identity may be new, we remain committed to delivering high quality and innovative products across all our brands, including Hyster®, Yale®, UTILEV® and Nuvera®,” said Colin Wilson, president and chief executive officer of NACCO Materials Handling Group.
He added: “The new name and logo further unify our identities and underscore our ongoing commitment to all of our brands, and create an umbrella under which the company will focus on executing its core strategic initiatives.”
