KION North America Corporation, located in Summerville, S.C., and a member of the KION Group, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of industrial trucks, announces their nationwide military hiring initiative. Partnering with Veterans ASCEND, a veteran owned company breaking employment barriers for veterans and military spouses by translating occupations into skills and automatically aligning military talent to employers, KION North America is rolling out the service to all their dealerships across the United States.
