The European Commission conditionally approved the proposed merger between Cargotec and Konecranes
The completion remains subject to further authority approvals. The approval is conditional on the divestment of Konecranes' Lift Truck business and Cargotec's Kalmar Automation Solutions. Konecranes’ Lift Truck business includes its business for the manufacturing and commercialisation of reach stackers, full container handlers, empty container handlers, as well as forklift trucks. This includes manufacturing plants in Sweden and China, and contracts with distributors. Cargotec’ Kalmar Automation Solutions business consists of its full cranes and straddle/shuttle carrier business, including Kalmar's manufacturing plant in Poland and a licence for use of Cargotec’s Kalmar brand for the divested product categories. The divestitures would eliminate overlaps between the parties' Container Handling Equipment businesses but allow the combined company to combine other businesses and continue to be a strong player in all aspects of Container Handling Equipment.

Bandit Industries announces that they have purchased The Trelan Company
Bandit purchased the assets and properties of Trelan from the Schumacher family on December 22nd, 2021. Bandit will continue to produce the Trelan products and market them as Trelan machines produced by Bandit. Like the Bandit products, the Trelan chippers are known for their quality, performance, and dependability. Bandit will also supply parts and service to Trelan customers. Trelan has a long strong history in the whole tree chipper arena. The first Trelan chippers were produced in the early 70’s. Trelan’s unique chippers will enhance Bandit's extensive line of whole tree chippers. The Trelan chippers will add volume without affecting the sale of Bandit's line of whole tree chippers. Bandit will use the 45,000 square foot manufacturing and 10,000 square feet of storage buildings to continue to produce the Trelan machines and to produce additional Bandit machines. Source
