Meritor Inc. announces a new strategic supply agreement with The Manitowoc Co., Inc., one of the world's largest providers of lifting equipment for the global construction industry, to deliver multiple drivetrain products and solutions including planetary axles to the manufacturer.
Meritor products will be featured on several crane types across Manitowoc's extensive portfolio. "As the mobile crane market continues to strengthen, this agreement positions Meritor as a key supplier to support crane production under Manitowoc's Grove brand," says Joe Muscedere, Vice President, Off Highway, Specialty & Defense, North America for Meritor.

The agreement between Meritor and Manitowoc extends and solidifies a mutually beneficial relationship that will have long-term impact for both companies."
