Oshkosh Corp. will acquire AUSA, which will become part of the Oshkosh Access segment that also includes JLG.
AUSA manufactures site dumpers, rough terrain forklifts, and telehandlers.
Those products will be marketed alongside the JLG line of telehandlers and Hinowa-branded tracked dumpers and forklifts. The companies began working together through a partner agreement in 2020, with AUSA manufacturing the JLG-branded SkyTrak 3013 compact telehandler.
JLG also partners with Dieci for its JLG-branded rotary telehandlers.
“We are excited to join forces with a proven partner like AUSA,” said Mahesh Narang, EVP, Oshkosh, and president, Access, in a statement. “Combining our advanced technology capabilities and robust training, support and service infrastructures will allow us to better serve customers and enable targeted growth.”
Stated Ramon Carbonell, AUSA’s CEO:
“We constantly pursue excellence in our products, services and business. A deeper relationship with Oshkosh will expand the reach of our products, which is an objective our companies share.”
AUSA reported sales of approximately $142 million in 2023 and employs 350 people. It has 600 dealers.
