Headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio, the company operates on a global scale with manufacturing facilities, service centers, and product development centers across North America, Europe, and Asia.

The modern iteration of the company, Hyster-Yale, Inc., was formed in 2012 following a spin-off from NACCO Industries. However, its roots trace back much further through its constituent brands. The Hyster Company was founded in 1929 in the Pacific Northwest, initially serving the logging industry, while the Yale brand's origins date back to the 1840s. This deep heritage is combined with a forward-looking strategy focused on innovation and sustainability. Hyster-Yale is a leader in developing advanced technologies, including robotic lift trucks, operator assist systems, and alternative power solutions like hydrogen fuel cells and lithium-ion batteries through its subsidiary Nuvera Fuel Cells, LLC. The company also offers a wide range of attachments through another subsidiary, Bolzoni S.p.A., a leading global producer of attachments, forks, and lift tables. This comprehensive portfolio allows Hyster-Yale to serve a diverse array of industries, from logistics and warehousing to heavy manufacturing and container handling, solidifying its position as a key player in the global materials handling market.
