To support its dealer network with financial solutions, Mitsubishi Logisnext Europe (MLE), part of Mitsubishi Logisnext, a provider of logistics and materials handling solutions, entered into a partnership with DLL, a global vendor finance company. The collaboration between the two organizations will be positioned in the market as Logisnext Financial Services.

Mitsubishi Logisnext Europe was created on April 1, 2020, as a result of the integration of Mitsubishi Caterpillar Forklift Europe (MCFE) and UniCarriers Europe and has a multi-brand strategy featuring brands such as Mitsubishi Forklift Trucks, Cat Lift Trucks, TCM, UniCarriers and Rocla AGV.

“DLL already had a close relationship with MCFE in the past,” Mike Kinka, head of the program management construction, transportation and industrial global business unit at DLL, said. “This, in combination with the experience of DLL in the materials handling market, will bring the new cooperation with the merged brands to the next level.”

“MLE aims to be a leading provider of innovative logistics and material handling solutions, and this agreement with a partner like DLL brings us closer to that goal and will strengthen the position of MLE in the European market,” Ulf Berg, vice president of dealer sales at Mitsubishi Logisnext Europe, said. “With DLL, we have the right financial match for us and our distribution network to keep developing our business with customized financial tools for each market. We are preparing the launch of very exciting new products and the cooperation with DLL will ensure that gradually, we make these forklifts available for demos in each market in Europe.

“We recognize the expertise and experience that DLL can offer to us and our partners. DLL can help us reaching out to new customers, new segments and new markets with their extensive product portfolio. And knowing that DLL has been working with our partners for some years in key countries gives us the assurance that we have the perfect financial party at our side.”

The finance program will be launched to Mitsubishi Logisnext Europe dealers in the coming months. The Logisnext Financial Services team will support dealers to ensure implementation locally.
