Frankfurt-based forklift company Kion Group reportedly plans to expand its manufacturing in the United States after tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump on imports from China, where Kion operates two factories.

“We are going to expand our production with the existing Summerville facility,” said Kion’s spokesman Michael Hauger via email.
