About the company
Oshkosh Corporation, based in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, has established itself as a leading manufacturer in various industries. With a rich history dating back to its founding in 1917, the company has continuously evolved and adapted to meet the changing demands of its customers. In the access equipment segment, Oshkosh has cemented its position as the top producer. This segment includes products such as aerial work platforms, telehandlers, and boom lifts. Oshkosh's subsidiary, JLG Industries, is a global leader in this market, offering high-quality and innovative solutions for accessing high, hard-to-reach areas. The company's reputation for reliability and durability has made it a preferred choice for construction, industrial, and maintenance applications. Another notable area of expertise for Oshkosh is specialty vehicles. The company has made significant strides in designing and manufacturing vehicles for a wide range of purposes. These include concrete mixers, refuse trucks, airport firefighting vehicles, and emergency rescue vehicles. Oshkosh's commitment to delivering top-of-the-line products has made it a trusted name in the industry, with customers relying on their vehicles to perform even in the most demanding conditions. In the defense sector, Oshkosh has played a crucial role in serving the needs of the U.S. Department of Defense. The company's involvement in manufacturing joint light tactical vehicles (JLTV) has solidified its position as a key player in military truck production. With a focus on providing advanced mobility, protection, and versatility, Oshkosh has helped enhance the capabilities of the armed forces. However, the recent loss in the JLTV recompete has brought attention to Oshkosh's U.S. Postal Service contract. As the postal service explores options for electrifying its vehicles, Oshkosh is well-positioned to leverage its expertise and continue its legacy of delivering innovative solutions. Despite the challenges faced in the defense sector, Oshkosh remains robust in other segments. The fire and emergency segment focuses on manufacturing fire apparatus, including aerial platforms, pumpers, and tankers. Oshkosh's commitment to firefighter safety and efficiency has made it a trusted partner for fire departments nationwide. Additionally, the commercial segment offers a range of products, including concrete mixers, bulk haulers, and mobile cranes, catering to diverse industries' needs. With its diverse portfolio, Oshkosh generated $8.3 billion in revenue in 2022. The access equipment segment continues to be the primary revenue driver, accounting for 48% of total revenue. Defense follows closely behind, contributing 26% to the company's overall revenue. Fire and emergency, along with the commercial segment, each make up 13% of the company's revenue. Oshkosh's commitment to innovation, quality, and customer satisfaction has been integral to its success. By investing in research and development and consistently pushing the boundaries of technology, the company continues to stay ahead of its competitors. With a strong market position in North America and a global presence in multiple segments, Oshkosh is well-equipped for future growth and expansion.
