Agriculture, a strategic sector for the Manitou Group, represented 31% of its revenue in 2010, and at the dawn of the new upward cycle, represents a triple growth engine in terms of renewing existing fleets and developing towards new uses and new markets.
President and CEO, Jean-Christophe Giroux, announced: “Agriculture is definitely the toughest sector for our machines, which are increasingly becoming mission-critical in agricultural operations, where they are evolving by accommodating for versatility and intensity of use. It is nevertheless necessary to develop their performance and finishing so that they are adaptable to many different countries and users, taking into account different uses, tastes, and cultures. For both ourselves and our networks, agriculture is a tough sector to master in terms of proximity, demand, and adaptability, but it also promises enormous potential.”
