Oshkosh Corporation, a producer of purpose-built vehicles and equipment, has agreed to acquire AUSA, a privately held international manufacturer of wheeled dumpers, rough terrain forklifts, and telehandlers for the construction, material handling, agriculture, landscape, and specialty equipment industries.
AUSA, which was founded in 1956 in Barcelona, Spain, reported sales of approximately $132 million euros in 2023. The companies began working together through a partner agreement in 2020, with AUSA manufacturing the JLG-branded SkyTrak 3013 compact telehandler.
