In late October, more than 500 authorised HELI dealers from across 100 countries converged in Hefei City, Anhui Province, China for the 2025 HELI Global Conference, a landmark event celebrating innovation, collaboration and the shared vision shaping the future of material handling.
Representing the Oceania region, HELI Oceania joined the conference under the theme “Join Hands, Shared Future”. This year’s event marked a defining moment in HELI’s evolution; from a global manufacturer to a forward-thinking leader integrating research, design, manufacturing and intelligent service solutions under one cohesive brand.
From product showcase to global unity
Departing from past focus on product exhibitions, the HELI Global Conference has transformed into a platform for global partnership. The 2025 edition placed strong emphasis on unity, sustainability and innovation, reinforcing HELI’s position as one of the world’s most influential material handling brands.
HELI’s commitment to progress was evident through the unveiling of over 20 new products, showcasing advancements in lithium-powered forklifts, autonomous driving/operation and intelligent robotics. These innovations reflect HELI’s determination to drive the industry toward a smarter and greener future, aligning closely with global trends in automation and sustainability.
Innovation for a Sustainable Future
For HELI, the path forward is clear: sustainability through smart technology. The company is pioneering lithium battery solutions to replace older power systems, while also offering solutions to transition lead-acid and internal combustion forklift fleets to lithium power.
As demand for clean and efficient energy solutions continues to grow worldwide, particularly in regions like Oceania, HELI’s lithium range is at the forefront of that change. The momentum toward electrification reflects HELI’s unwavering commitment to environmental responsibility and operational efficiency.
Celebrating Collaboration and the Next Generation
Beyond the impressive product reveals, this year’s conference underscored the power of partnership. HELI’s biennial event serves not only to strengthen ties within its dealer network but also to foster the spirit of innovation among its future leaders. One highlight of the conference was the introduction of the HELI Youth Forum, a new initiative designed to inspire and empower the next generation of HELI partners. By fostering creative thinking and global collaboration, HELI is ensuring that its legacy of progress continues well into the future.
The event’s closing message resonated deeply with attendees: “One alone is hard to lift, but together we move with ease”. This sentiment perfectly captures HELI’s global philosophy: unity, shared purpose and collective success.
HELI’s Global Vision, Oceania’s Future
For HELI Oceania, participation in the Global Conference reinforced the brand’s mission to strengthen its dealer network and expand access to HELI’s advanced product range across the region.
Oceania remains a critical growth market for HELI, with vast potential in logistics, warehousing, construction and manufacturing. As HELI continues to lead China’s industrial vehicle industry, proudly holding the No.1 position for 34 consecutive years, its investment in global collaboration ensures that dealers and customers in Australia benefit directly from the latest technological breakthroughs and manufacturing excellence.
Driving the Future Together
HELI’s 2025 Global Conference demonstrated more than innovation; it showcased the power of connection. With over six decades of experience and an ever-expanding network of partners worldwide, HELI continues to lift industries higher through unity, innovation and shared vision. As HELI looks ahead, one message remains clear: the future of material handling isn’t just about machinery, it’s about moving forward together. ν
