Q2 2025 is already behind us – and it flew by, as it always does when there’s a lot going on. At JEAKUE, we believe in staying busy, staying bold, and continuously pushing forward. This past quarter was defined by growth, increased brand exposure, and stronger collaboration with both new and long-standing partners across Europe and beyond. From major trade shows and live demos to key customer visits and dealer events, the JK team made a significant impact. Here’s how the second quarter of the year unfolded for us.
April: A Strong Start to the Quarter
April kicked off with JK showcasing its latest lithium-powered innovations at SITL Paris, the leading logistics trade show in France. The event attracted logistics professionals, industry experts, and end users from across the country – and our booth was a clear highlight.
Centre of attention? The XP15 automated pallet truck, presented in full operation on-site. Its plug-and-play automation and intuitive design made a strong impression, further establishing JK’s reputation as a leader in user-focused innovation. The momentum in France is unmistakable – and the interest in automated, sustainable solutions is only growing.
Later in the month, we took part in Logistics & Automation in Dortmund, where our IFOY-nominated EXP15 automatic pallet truck once again drew considerable attention. These events reaffirmed the market’s demand for smart, efficient, and scalable warehouse solutions – exactly what JK is here to provide.
April also marked a major milestone in JK’s commitment to sustainability with the official launch of the JK Green Range. Designed to align performance with environmental responsibility, the Green Range represents a new generation of electric equipment built with eco-conscious materials, simplified maintenance, and reduced energy consumption. It’s a bold step in our mission to drive more sustainable practices across the material handling industry.

Back in Cologne, we hosted our first JK Dealer Days of the year, bringing together trusted partners for a deep dive into JK’s product range and service ecosystem. Led by our German Sales, Aftersales, and AMR teams, the sessions included hands-on demonstrations, open discussions, and collaborative planning. These days are about more than just training – they’re about building long-term partnerships.
May: Unconventional & Impactful Moments
May brought even more visibility, as JK equipment appeared in both traditional and unconventional settings.
One standout collaboration came through The ReaL Life Guys, who put our equipment to the test in a unique warehouse environment. The project proved once again that JK trucks are adaptable, robust, and ready for action – even outside the usual logistics framework.
We also partnered with a number of key players across Europe at different events:
Clearlift presented JK solutions at The Manufacturing Expo
Our AMR expert Bertrand Collongy hosted a customer event in cooperation with IBCS Poland
Holtuis Gabelstapler featured JK equipment during his own local event
On top of this, we welcomed even more new partners to our Cologne HQ. A special Dealer Day, hosted by Julian Bueter and Thomas Freitag, was organised for Lenzing, who brought their entire sales and product team for two full days of training, product exploration, and strategic planning. These sessions exemplify what partnership means to JK: shared goals, in-depth exchange, and forward-thinking solutions.
June: Launches, innovation and a look at the future
In June, JK high-voltage trucks were in the spotlight at Transport Logistics Hannover, presented by our partner AM Gabelstapler. These heavy-duty electric trucks turned heads and reinforced JK’s position as a serious player in the high-capacity electric segment.
Meanwhile, in Cologne, we were excited to welcome three new team members to the JK family, each bringing valuable experience and fresh perspectives to our growing European team.
We also hosted our third JK Dealer Day of the quarter, once again coordinated by the JK Sales and After sales teams. Partners including Werner Michel, Pallit, Noris Gebrauchstapler, and MH Foerdertechnik joined us for another successful and energising exchange of ideas, insights, and updates. These events are proof that knowledge-sharing and face-to-face dialogue continue to be essential in building a strong, connected network.
To close the quarter, all eyes turned to China, where JK hosted its spectacular 629 Innovation Launch Conference. With over 1,200 dealers in attendance, the event was a bold declaration of what’s next in material handling. JK Founder and CEO John He unveiled a powerful line-up of next-generation forklifts, niche-market products, and a new AGV and warehousing concept – showcasing everything from the 4th-generation EFL series and high-voltage models to tailored handling equipment and smart automation. Many of these new solutions will launch in international markets later this year, bringing even more momentum to our global community.
Beyond the product announcements, the 629 event was also a celebration of creativity and collaboration. A unique “man-machine” show – featuring dancers and robots performing together – captured the spirit of innovation that defines JK. The evening wrapped up with interactive games, networking, and a gala dinner that brought our partners even closer.
Looking Ahead: What’s Next?
Q2 was dynamic, fast-paced, and full of momentum – and we’re not slowing down anytime soon. With even more innovations, events, and new collaborations coming in Q3, we’re excited for what’s next, and you should be too!
