In the year since Nino Pala became Managing Director of Linde Material Handling Australia the company has undergone dynamic changes locally, regionally and as part of the global KION Group.

KION Group is little known in Australia where its Linde brand has instead carried the corporate banner and carved out a reputation for quality, performance and customer focus. Already one of the largest global suppliers of forklift trucks, warehouse equipment and related services, the KION Group late last year became one of the leading global providers of intelligent intralogistics solutions by acquiring Dematic, a best-in-class automation provider and specialist in supply chain optimisation.

Nino Pala has drawn on his extensive corporate experience throughout Asia Pacific and North America to lead his team at Linde Material Handling Australia during a period of unprecedented, ongoing business and technological change for the industry.
