This acquisition is strategically important for Konecranes. An investment boom has started in Ukraine and in ports in the Black Sea region. The process and general manufacturing industries are growing. This means great potential for Konecranes’ products and services.
“The acquired unit will strengthen Konecranes’ position in Ukraine, especially in port crane maintenance,” says Seppo Hoppu, Director, East Europe. “Craneservice will also serve as a base for skilled technicians and will form a strong support unit for Konecranes’ activities in Russian speaking areas.”
