Going Global

Involvement across country borders is the order of the day at Jungheinrich. Moreover, the constant change in the market and competitive environment necessitates international cooperation and networked thinking. Against this backdrop, the company banks on ‘Going Global,’ a program that sends employees on foreign assignments for periods of up to six months. When at work abroad, they can bring their know-how into play, gain experience, and develop intercultural skills. This results in synergies that boost knowledge transfer over the long term.

An example of this type of cross-fertilization is the ‘After-Sales Services Engineer Pool.’ This cooperation among technicians was initiated in 2007 and aims to promote the sharing of expertise.
