As production and trade volumes grew worldwide, the flow of goods and materials also increased continuously.

With sales of 3.1 billion euros, the intralogistics manufacturer is the world market leader in this area, as around 9,200 employees in 55 branches worldwide ensure that customers are supplied with innovative logistics applications on time. This is impressively demonstrated by the more than 30,000 systems that DAIFUKU has already successfully implemented.
