CARGOTEC CORPORATION, STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE, 2 DECEMBER 2013 AT 10:00 EET
After receiving regulatory approvals, Cargotec has established Sinotruk
(Shandong) Hiab Equipment Company Ltd., a joint venture with China National
Heavy Duty Truck Group Co., Ltd. (CNHTC), in China. Cargotec's ownership in the
joint venture is 50 percent. The plans for the joint venture were published in
July 2012. Cargotec's estimated equity investment in the joint venture during
the first operational year is, as earlier announced, approximately EUR 10
million.
CNHTC is a leading Chinese manufacturer of heavy duty trucks and the parent
company of Sinotruk. CNHTC's extensive network, including dealers and service
stations all over China, will be used by the joint venture for the distribution,
sales and services of Hiab's cranes and hooklifts.
The joint venture will also further develop CNHTC's existing truck crane
offering and production base for the Chinese market. By combining both
companies' technical know-how, the joint venture is expected to become a
significant player in the truck crane business in the near future, particularly
in China.
