Software company for warehousing and material flow engineering ISA GmbH is now a 100%subsidiary of Jungheinrich
Jungheinrich is taking over a company in Austria to consolidate its position as a provider of logistics systems. On 18 December the company announced the acquisition of a 75 per cent stake in ISA – Innovative Systemlösungen für die Automation GmbH, headquartered in Graz. The company is one of the leading warehousing and material flow engineering software companies. The parties agreed not to disclose the acquisition price.

In their close, longstanding cooperation both companies have successfully implemented a large number of joint projects. ISA will remain an autonomous company at its current location and will be assigned to Jungheinrich’s sales division for logistics systems. With effect from January 1, 2013, Markus Skof (33), current project and key account manager for Jungheinrich at ISA, and Dr. Markus Heinecker (36), current head of warehouse management systems with Jungheinrich, will become the managing directors of the Graz-based company.

Integrated, holistic material flow and warehouse logistics solutions are the company’s core competencies, complemented by all associated services such as project engineering, implementation, training and service.
