Welcome to the April 1st issue of Warehouse & Logistics News. Our front cover story reveals that it is important to take the correct steps for your pallet racking installation, including checking the credentials of your installer, especially when you consider that even the smallest alteration from the manufacturer’s specification can have severe consequences. SEIRS aims to raise standards within the industry by training installers on correct installation methods to SEMA standards.

I had the privilege of being flown by Doosan Bobcat to Seoul, South Korea to hear about the company’s rebrand. In January 2024, the first Bobcat-branded material handling units began rolling off the production lines at the organisation’s plants in South Korea, China and Germany. This milestone represents the culmination of a two-year global initiative, through which the full range of forklifts and warehouse equipment formerly produced by Doosan Industrial Vehicle (DIV) have been successfully rebranded as part of the Bobcat family. We heard from Vaclav Kratky, Senior Marketing Manager, Doosan Bobcat EMEA about the history of the company and how it “brings tough” to material handling. Global Project Manager Yongseok Ryu told us what it takes to rebrand, before we were taken out to experience the excellent local cuisine. A big thanks to Doosan Bobcat for organising the trip.
