Doosan Bobcat Announces Global Brand Strategy; Forklift, Portable Power and Industrial Air Transition to Bobcat Brand

WEST FARGO, N.D. (March 9, 2023) — Doosan Bobcat Inc., a company within Doosan Group, has announced its global branding strategy to create business and growth opportunities for the Doosan Bobcat product portfolio.

Doosan Portable Power (DPP), a global manufacturer of air compressors, mobile generators and light towers; Doosan Industrial Air (DIA), one of the most comprehensive rotary air compressor lines on the market; and Doosan Industrial Vehicle (DIV), a supplier of quality material handling equipment, including forklifts, will rebrand under the Bobcat trade dress in North America and applicable markets worldwide.

This branding approach to the organization’s portable power, industrial air and industrial vehicle equipment offerings aims to strengthen overall brand equity, market recognition and consumer recall of all product offerings. The transition will create a cohesive customer experience and grow the organization’s footprint, thus making the brand accessible to more customers and in more places. 

Bobcat has broadened its product portfolio significantly within the past five years, launching more machines during this period than previously in its entire history. The brand has successfully expanded its offerings with new technologies and innovations and expanded product lines, such as grounds maintenance equipment, which includes compact tractors, small articulated loaders and zero-turn mowers. 

With this refreshed identity, the DPP, DIA and DIV product suites will, respectively, undergo design and aesthetic changes in alignment with current Bobcat branding.

 The rebranded products will be displayed at key global trade shows in March and April.

• DPP will display a portion of its product lineup rebranded in Bobcat trade dress at CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2023 in Las Vegas, Nevada, March 14-18.
• DIV will showcase rebranded Bobcat forklifts as part of the in-booth display at ProMat 2023 in Chicago, Illinois, March 20-23, as well as LogiMAT in Germany, April 25-27. 
• DIA products will be on display at key U.S. industry events throughout 2023.

Bobcat-branded material handling equipment, industrial air compressors and portable power products are expected to be available for customer purchase through Doosan Bobcat’s extensive, global dealer network at a later date. Bobcat and these rebranded product lines will proudly remain part of the broader Doosan Group portfolio. Visit doosanbobcat.com.
