Linde AG sold KION Group to a partnership of Kohlberg Kravis Roberts and Goldman Sachs Capital Partners for approximately €4 billion.
In January 2009 KION Group formed a China-based forklift manufacturing joint venture, Kion Baoli (Jiangsu) Forklift, with Jiangsu Shangqi Group and Jingjiang Baoli Forklift.[4] In May 2010 KION Group acquired full management control of Kion Baoli.[4]

Create your Own!
Ready to build your dream skateboard? It’s easy! You can browse through our site to check out the selection or you can use our skateboard builder. As with any skateboard customization, everything begins with the deck. Skateboard decks are typically made from 7-ply wood and designed for street, vert and tricks. If you’re unsure about what skateboard size you should get, just use our skateboard sizing chart. Choosing the right skateboard also depends on your preference of the shape and the materials it’s made out of. After you’ve chosen your deck, move on to our selection of skateboard trucks. They’re one of the most important key components when it comes to how skateboards perform. The next component to focus on is skateboard wheels. Without the wheels, you’re not moving anywhere! Typically made from polyurethane, skateboard wheels come in various diameters and durometers to suit your riding style and preference. Once you’ve selected your wheels, it’s time for skateboard bearings. They come in different ABEC rated styles, which determines their quality and precision. Ceramic skateboard bearings are also available.

Now that you have the basic skateboard components, it’s time to move on to the final touches. Applied directly onto your deck, our skateboard grip tape selection includes dozens of styles and colors to choose from. You can also customize your skateboard hardware to match the other parts of your skateboard. If you want to give your skateboard some lift, check out our selection of skateboard riser pads. They help prevent wheel bite, which can make you unexpectedly eat it!
