About the company
KION combines industrial trucks with warehouse automation. From the start of 2026, it renamed Supply Chain Solutions to Intelligent Automation Solutions; an undated 2025 segment chart would miss that change.
The diagram follows the two current segments and their published brands. It does not imply that a forklift brand owns another brand or that Dematic is a legal parent of all automation projects.
How KION Group is organized
Industrial Trucks & Services covers development, manufacturing, sales, rental and service of warehouse vehicles. KION describes Linde, STILL and Baoli as international brands within this business.
Intelligent Automation Solutions, formerly Supply Chain Solutions, provides automation technology and software. Dematic is the group’s major warehouse-automation brand in that segment.
Corporate Services provides cross-segment functions and is disclosed separately in financial reporting; it is shown beside the two customer businesses rather than assigned to one brand.
Key leadership roles
Rob Smith
Chief executive, KION Group — The chart depicts segment and brand membership, not unreported personal reporting lines.
How this structure supports the business
The chart separates moving goods inside a warehouse from designing and automating the warehouse system.
The 2026 segment name is explicit, so readers can reconcile this view with 2025 annual-report tables that still use Supply Chain Solutions.
Advantages and disadvantages
