HOUSTON (June 6, 2023) – Mitsubishi Logisnext Americas group (Logisnext), a leading North American provider and manufacturer of material handling and innovative automation and fleet solutions, knows that the safety of forklift operators is a top priority.

• On June 13, Logisnext employees across the company’s three campuses in Houston, Texas; Marengo, IL and Grand Rapids, MI, will celebrate the milestone occasion as part of the company’s ongoing commitment to focus on safety best practices.

• To further raise awareness of the importance of forklift safety in the workplace, a National Forklift Safety Day toolkit was made available to the Logisnext dealer network to help promote the “Safety First” campaign to employees and customers during the month of June.

“National Forklift Safety Day brings an important focus to safety in our industry – an area that we concentrate on all year long as a part of our 100% safety initiative,” said Jay Gusler, executive vice president, operations of Mitsubishi Logisnext Americas. “In recognition of this important national day focused on safety, we are committed to increasing awareness of forklift safety with our employees, dealers and customers.”
