German forklift manufacturer Jungheinrich has acquired Atlanta-based Invar, a systems integrator for warehouse and fulfillment solutions, saying the move will bolster Jungheinrich’s expansion in North America and grow its global footprint as well as its automation business.
Terms of the deal were not disclosed, but Jungheinrich made the move through its subsidiary Storage Solutions, an Indiana-based warehouse design and automation consulting firm.
Founded in 2007, Invar has a proprietary Warehouse Execution System (WES) and a team of 50 professionals, serving a U.S. customer base with a strategic focus on companies seeking integrated warehouse design, advanced WES capabilities, comprehensive project execution, and reliable after-sales service.
For storage solutions, the acquisition enables the delivery of scalable custom automation solutions with a focus on mobile AS/RS, positioning Jungheinrich as one of the leading integrators in this sector in North America and beyond. By integrating Invar, Storage Solutions expands its operational footprint with two new locations in Atlanta, Georgia, and Erlanger, Kentucky, ensuring direct access to new customer segments and local integration capabilities tailored to the U.S. market, Jungheinrich said.
In addition, the acquisition of Invar is another step in the implementation of Jungheinrich’s 2030+ strategy, which envisions targeted investments in automation solutions and business expansion in North America.
