Haulotte opens Mexican office

France's Haulotte Group established a Mexican subsidiary in January this year. The office will be managed by Laurent Demaretz — a former industrial robotics salesman and newcomer to the aerials sector — who will report to Haulotte's South America area manager Carlos Hernandez.

Haulotte meanwhile used the Rental Show in Atlanta to unveil its strategy to grow sales in the US, with a plan for five major service centers throughout the country. See our interview with Haulotte COO Alexandre Saubot and US general manager Chris Koch in this issue (page 28).
