Comment

“It is a very important tactical and strategic move for us. We have a great fit with this company. Shantui is one of China’s leading manufacturers of earthmoving equipment and the company is looking to develop its presence in the country’s mobile crane market. Similarly Manitowoc has been developing its own presence in the Chinese truck crane market and we are now ready to move to the next stage of development with a stronger and larger partner.”

Eric Etchart took over as president and general manager at Manitowoc Cranes in 2007. He has been in the crane industry for almost 30 years, since 1983, first at PPM and later at Potain in France. Etchart moved to Asia in 1997 with Potain before it was bought by Manitowoc in 2001Eric Etchart, Manitowoc Cranes president
