These developments, which include innovations in Baggage Tray Systems, Tilt Tray Sorters, DCV and the DuoSys crane systems, are all aimed at providing Daifuku with cutting edge products and it’s customers with an “always an edge ahead” advantage. Regional customer service and support offices have also been opened which facilitate key market/customer facing relationships, enhancing the value of all Daifuku Logan solutions. The group have also invested heavily in people, creating a global resources base and building a unique, highly competent and experienced workforce set for the challenges within the future ABH market.

Logan is a name that has been synonymous with the design, manufacture and integration of baggage handling systems and solutions for over 50 years. During this time, Logan has installed over 400 such systems worldwide with a range of ground breaking, innovative products.
Commenting on the name change and what it means, Ron Osborne, Director and General Manager of Daifuku Logan, said: “We see our name, Daifuku Logan, as the latest step in helping to build Daifuku as a truly global brand in the airport industry. It means we are up there, competing with the very best in designing, building, installing, operating and maintaining innovative, reliable and highly efficient Airport Baggage Handling.”
He added: “With the considerable resources, expertise and knowledge of the Daifuku ABH group at our disposal, we are already making inroads in providing airports with modern baggage systems that have transportation, sortation and security screening applications, like Standard 3 screening, as the norm.“
