Brookfield, WI-based material handling equipment distributor Wolter announced Nov. 11 that it acquired WMH Solutions, adding more than 200 employees and 11 locations across the Southeast.

The acquisition expands Wolter’s workforce by approximately 25% from its previous base of more than 800 employees. The combined organization operates more than 40 locations across 15 states under the Wolter brand. Financial terms were not disclosed.

Headquartered in Charlotte, NC, WMH Solutions — also known as Wheeler Material Handling — is a Linde forklift dealer with locations across North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee, Georgia and Alabama.

Founded in 1988 by Joe Wheeler, WMH provides new and used forklift sales, rentals, parts, service, fleet management, warehouse automation and training. Its customers include manufacturers and distributors, supported by Linde-certified technicians and 24/7 service availability.

WMH President and Chief Operating Officer Scott Moe will continue to lead the acquired operations within Wolter.

Wolter said WMH customers will gain access to a broader portfolio spanning warehouse automation and robotics, industrial storage and racking, dock and door equipment, overhead cranes and complete engineered systems. The combination also expands its technician network, parts inventories and around-the-clock support.

Wolter President and CEO Jerry Weidmann said the acquisition broadens the company’s geographic reach and product offerings, strengthening its ability to serve customers across the eastern half of the United States.

The transaction follows three other acquisitions Wolter announced earlier in 2026:

• September: Wolter acquired West Bend, WI-based Flatley Dock Systems in a transaction that closed Sept. 1. Flatley added loading dock equipment, high-speed doors, commercial overhead doors and related services across the Milwaukee and Chicago markets.
• July: Wolter acquired Delta Materials Handling, adding operations in Memphis and Jackson, TN; Tupelo, MS; and Jonesboro, AR. The deal expanded Wolter into the Mid-South with forklift sales, rentals, parts, service and warehouse solutions.
• April: Wolter acquired Downers Grove, IL-based CSI Materials Handling, strengthening its Chicago-area presence and adding engineered storage, racking, design and installation capabilities.

Founded in 1962, Wolter is a family-owned provider of material handling equipment, automation, storage and industrial solutions.
