From April 15 to 21, 2013, the Manitou Group is taking part in the first international construction trade fair, bauma (Munich – Germany). With more than 38% of its turnover in 2012, construction is a strategic market for the group. The last few years have seen customer demand develop more towards hiring and machines which are easier to use, without any loss of quality, performance or safety. A challenge that the material-handling reference intends to meet by displaying its new "material-handling solutions" (machines + attachments + service) at the German trade fair.
"As capital equipment that is essential on work sites, our machines contribute to the profitability of construction professionals, whether small or large, and also to that of regional, national or international hirers," says Dominique Bamas, Chief Executive of the Manitou group. "In a complex and volatile economic context, we lack visibility. However, aware of the strong rental demand, the Manitou Group is endeavouring to offer solutions adapted to the new expectations of its equipment-hiring customers. This involves simplifying our material handling solutions, but without reducing customization and innovation. Serving our customers and maintaining the great diversity of products from the material-handling reference are our priorities."
So the Manitou Group is continuing to establish reliable and powerful local networks through more than 1,400 dealers, whose qualifications and expertise are unanimously recognized in all of the group's business sectors.
bauma 2013 is the chance for the group to promote "power x3" in its range of material
handling solutions.
