Employee structure
On 31 December 2010, the KION Group employed 19,968 people (including trainees and apprentices), roughly 60 per cent of whom worked outside Germany in 27 countries.
The number of employees was therefore almost the same as in 2009, although there were changes between the proportion of people employed in Europe and in the high-growth markets (China, North America and South America). The KION Group is thereby responding to the rapid expansion of these markets.

Personnel expenses increased from €925 million in 2009 to €968 million in 2010. One of the main reasons for this rise was that short-time working was suspended or ended earlier than planned.
