    "body": "<p>At first glance, it is a structural shift, a new line drawn within Jebsen &amp; Jessen&rsquo;s organisation. But the move to establish MHE as its seventh business unit reflects how the business has evolved over time.</p><p>With more than 50 years in the material handling industry, MHE was previously part of the Technology business unit. It now stands on its own, following a period of growth shaped by recent acquisitions and integration.</p><p>The new business unit will be led by Karl Tilkorn, whose history with the business spans several chapters. Before 2019, he led the MHE-Demag joint venture. After its divestment, he moved with the business to Konecranes, returning to Jebsen &amp; Jessen in 2023.</p><p>His return coincided with the rebuilding of MHE through the acquisition of the industrial products business from Konecranes, as well as Australian companies Safetech and EMS.</p><p>&ldquo;Karl&rsquo;s appointment is in line with longer-term value creation for the MHE business as part of the Group&rsquo;s Aligned to Thrive strategy,&rdquo; said Per Magnusson, Group CEO of Jebsen &amp; Jessen.</p><p>Amid broader challenges, the change reflects a continued commitment to growth and direction.</p><p>&ldquo;I&rsquo;m honoured to lead the MHE team as we step into this new chapter,&rdquo; Tilkorn said. &ldquo;We&rsquo;ve rebuilt our foundation, integrated new capabilities and expanded across key markets. This structure gives us clarity, agility and focus.&rdquo;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>",
