"The new Hyster-Yale Group name and logo reflect a combination of tradition and progress. While our identity may be new, we remain committed to delivering high quality and innovative products across all our brands, including Hyster®, Yale®, UTILEV® and Nuvera®," said Colin Wilson, President and Chief Executive Officer of NACCO Materials Handling Group.
