Cargotec's President and CEO Mikael Mäkinen:
The market situation is challenging due to global economic uncertainty, which is
also reflected in a tight competitive situation. Nevertheless, Terminals second
quarter orders grew by 57 percent from the comparison period. Since
profitability remained at the level of the first quarter, its improvement in
Terminals and Load Handling is our priority.
We are building a factory for the Rainbow-Cargotec Industries joint venture and
in July we announced our plans to establish a joint venture with China's leading
heavy truck manufacturer. Hence, we have reached our desired strategic
foundation in Asia in both Terminals and Load Handling. We continue to evaluate
listing Marine on Singapore Exchange and growth opportunities in offshore.
