Naumann Hobbs Elevates Partnership with Mitsubishi Logisnext Americas for  Southwest Warehouses

PHOENIX – Aug. 27, 2024 – In June 2024, Naumann Hobbs Material Handling (NHMH) transitioned to exclusively offering Mitsubishi Logisnext Americas equipment, including Cat® lift trucks, Mitsubishi forklift trucks and Jungheinrich® warehouse products. This strategic shift, following a recent enhanced agreement with Logisnext, establishes NHMH as the sole authorized dealer of Logisnext products in the state of Arizona and southern Nevada, with continued representation in the NHMH Southern California territory.

With nearly 75 years in Arizona, NHMH’s shift to focus solely on Logisnext products underscores its mission and commitment to delivering top-tier material handling solutions across all of its branches in Arizona, California and Nevada. This allows NHMH to enhance its expertise and offer a more specialized, streamlined service experience, ensuring that customers receive support tailored specifically to their needs.


"We are thrilled to partner exclusively with Mitsubishi Logisnext Americas,” said Michael Vincent, CEO of Naumann Hobbs Material Handling. “With the Logisnext equipment, we are leading Arizona's distribution centers to the best warehouse solutions available, refining our portfolio to deliver unmatched service and only the highest quality products."

NHMH is set to transform its service approach in Arizona by restructuring and modernizing its service department. In response to this transition, NHMH aims to enhance customer communication and maintain agility in an ever-changing dynamic industry. Additionally, NHMH will keep a fully stocked parts inventory for Cat lift trucks, Mitsubishi forklift trucks and Jungheinrich brands to ensure prompt support and minimal downtime.

“Mitsubishi Logisnext Americas is committed to driving innovation and excellence in the material handling industry,” said David Jarr, General Manager of Dealer Development of Logisnext. “This partnership marks a significant milestone in our journey to set new standards and push the boundaries of what’s possible in warehouse solutions.”
To reinforce this commitment, Logisnext will provide an extensively tailored training program for the NHMH sales and technical teams. This initiative is designed not only to broaden the NHMH team’s technical skills but also to ensure customers are offered the most effective and innovative solutions available.
“With comprehensive training from Logisnext, we are poised to deepen our expertise and elevate our service capabilities,” said Matt Clausing, Phoenix Sales Manager of Naumann Hobbs Material Handling. “The training program will cover all aspects of Logisnext equipment, from basic operations to advanced troubleshooting and maintenance techniques.”

Happy interesting New Year

While Christmas is always my favorite time of the year, I have always been something of a Scrooge when it comes to celebrating the New Year. It is traditionally a time of reflection, where we take stock of our lives and make resolutions to do better. I’ve always felt that I really didn’t need a calendar to remind me to kick my bad habits in favor of healthier routines. If I was not already doing something that was good for me, then making promises I probably won’t keep after a few weeks is not really helpful.

But as we turn the calendar to 2025, there is a lot to consider this new year. The election is behind us, and it will be interesting to see how supply chains react to the new administration. We’ve been told to expect sharp increases in tariffs, like those the president-elect issued in his first term. Will these cause the desired shift away from goods made in China?

As the global market value of industrial robot installations passes its all-time high of $16.5 billion, five trends will continue to drive its growth through 2025, according to a forecast from the International Federation of Robotics (IFR).

That is important because the increased use of robots has the potential to significantly reduce the impact of labor shortages in manufacturing, IFR said. That will happen when robots automate dirty, dull, dangerous or delicate tasks – such as visual quality inspection, hazardous painting, or heavy lifting—thus freeing up human workers to focus on more interesting and higher-value tasks.
