Headquartered in Bremen and Burgwedel, the company sells Linde forklifts across all sizes and load classes and positions itself as a logistics service provider offering a complete package of solutions around forklift and warehouse technology fleets.

Beyond new equipment, Willenbrock offers rental forklifts, used forklifts, and equipment from additional manufacturers such as Baoli, including side- and four-way stackers, heavy-duty stackers, tractors, sweepers and cleaning robots. The service business is a central pillar. Willenbrock provides maintenance and repair, statutory and technical inspections (including exhaust gas testing, battery revision, explosion-protection testing, FEM 4004 testing, charger testing, rack inspection and LPG testing), retrofitting and accessories, technical and safety services, original spare parts, training and financing.

In 2007 Klaus Fördertechnik was renamed Willenbrock Fördertechnik Hannover, and in 2009 a branch in Braunschweig was opened.
