6/6/2011 Manitowoc, Wisconsin, United States
Manitowoc Cranes launched a new Brazilian Portuguese website in support of the one of the fastest growing construction markets. The new website provides company information, crane specifications and other resources for customers and potential customers in their native language.
Bruce Buchan, senior vice president of sales and marketing for Manitowoc in Latin America, said the new website is part of Manitowoc’s philosophy of local support and manufacturing.
“Manitowoc’s local knowledge and expertise is more than sales and support organizations,” he said. “Brazil is one of the fastest growing regions for Manitowoc, and we are committed to serving our customers in that region.”
Earlier this year, Manitowoc also announced plans to build a 25,000 m2 factory in the southern part of Brazil that will manufacture Grove mobile hydraulic cranes. In addition, Manitowoc has significant sales and Manitowoc Crane Care support organizations located in Sao Paulo.
The Manitowoc Company, Inc. (“Manitowoc”) was founded in 1902 and has over a 117-year tradition of providing high-quality products and support services that are tailored to customers’ needs. Its 2019 net sales were approximately $1.83 billion. Manitowoc is one of the world's leading providers of engineered lifting solutions. Through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Manitowoc designs, manufactures, markets and supports comprehensive product lines of mobile telescopic cranes, tower cranes, lattice-boom crawler cranes, boom trucks and industrial cranes under the Grove, Potain, Manitowoc, National Crane, Shuttlelift and Manitowoc Crane Care brand names.
