McConnellsburg, PA (August 6, 2026) — Oshkosh Corporation [NYSE: OSK], a global industrial technology company that develops purpose-built vehicles, equipment and services, and parent company of JLG Industries, today announced a strategic equity investment in Nextera Robotics.
„Our investment in Nextera is a confirmation of our belief in their technology, and our partnership will help Nextera accelerate its mission to connect the construction job site,” says Mahesh Narang, executive vice president, Oshkosh Corporation, and president, Oshkosh Access segment.
