Mitsubishi Logisnext Americas Inc. (MLA), a Houston-based provider of material handling solutions, will transition to Logisnext Americas.
For more than 100 years, MLA has provided material handling, automation and fleet solutions to global customers and is part of Mitsubishi Logisnext Co. Ltd. in Kyoto, Japan.
The change marks a step forward in Mitsubishi Logisnext’s ongoing transformation, guided by its “Logisnext Vision 2035.” As part of this process, MLA has formed a partnership with Japan Industrial Partners, a private equity firm based in Tokyo, as its new strategic partner to support sustainable growth.
Group companies—Cat Lift Trucks, Jungheinrich and UniCarriers Forklift—will begin adopting the new name beginning April 30, 2026.
In addition, the company's existing Mitsubishi Forklift Trucks portfolio will be rebranded to Logisnext Forklifts, an equipment line designed to meet evolving material handling demands.
Throughout the transition, the company says it is focused on stability and consistency for its dealers and customers. All current support and service structures will remain in place, ensuring uninterrupted operations.
“Today’s announcement reflects our forward momentum as a company, but it does not change who we are at our core,” MLA President Berry Mansfield says. “For decades, customers have relied on us for dependable equipment, consistent service and solutions that drive their success, and that foundation remains unchanged.”
