en.Wedoany.com Reported - Kalmar has partnered with Syncron to launch its parts planning solution in October 2026. The agreement was signed in March 2026.
Operating in some of the world's most demanding logistics environments, Kalmar understands that equipment uptime and service responsiveness are critical. By replacing its legacy system with Syncron's flexible, cloud-based parts planning solution, Kalmar aims to strengthen its efficient and responsive aftermarket operations.
The collaboration is designed to improve parts availability, enhance aftermarket performance, and increase the efficiency of the global dealer network, thereby supporting Kalmar's strategic pillar of "developing services." This is part of Kalmar's broader long-term strategy, which includes initiatives such as growing the original parts business, data and execution, and future advanced aftermarket data enablement and dealer collaboration.
Fredrik Fogelklou, Vice President of Parts and Logistics Solutions at Kalmar, stated: "Parts availability and service performance are the foundation of how customers experience our brand and how we grow our service business. By partnering with Syncron, we have a partner who understands our aftermarket reality and can help our entire network make better decisions—starting with planning and continuously improving from there."
Josh Weiss, CEO of Syncron, added: "Kalmar operates in an environment where there is almost no room for error in parts availability. This partnership begins with building a solid planning foundation, but the key lies in the capabilities it unlocks—enabling Kalmar to respond faster, support customers more effectively, and continuously improve its aftermarket performance."
Kalmar, headquartered in Helsinki, Finland, operates in over 120 countries with approximately 5,300 employees and reported sales of around €1.7 billion in 2025. The company provides heavy material handling equipment and services for ports, terminals, distribution centers, manufacturing, and heavy logistics. Syncron helps manufacturers and distributors grow by increasing customer loyalty and optimizing aftermarket profitability, with its Service Lifecycle Management (SLM) cloud platform placing data at the core of aftermarket operations.
