(37) Segment information

Jungheinrich operates at the international level — focussing mainly on Europe — as a manufacturer and supplier of products in the fields of material handling equipment, warehousing and material flow technology as well as of the full range of services related to these fields.

Jungheinrich’s Board of Management assumes overall responsibility as it acts and makes decisions on behalf of all the Group’s business areas. The economic key figures and reports submitted monthly to the entire Board of Management are oriented to inter-divisional control variables.

The Group defines itself as a single-product company since it classifies all its product ranges and services as a single business segment. None of the Group’s business or geographical areas can be demarcated due to a difference in risks and returns, making Jungheinrich a single-segment group in its core business. Therefore, there is no need to present detailed information in the primary reporting format set forth in IAS 14.

The following tables show net sales by region as well as the assets, capital expenditures and depreciation attributable to intangible and tangible assets, also broken down by region.
