Cargotec's CEO Mika Vehviläinen: Record-high quarter in Hiab
The year 2017 started with a strong note, particularly at Hiab, where the orders
received and the operating profit margin reached an all-time high. Kalmar's
development as a whole was at a satisfactory level. Its profitability improved
and demand was healthy especially in mobile equipment. As in 2016, MacGregor's
market situation continued to be challenging. However, we are pleased that we
managed to keep MacGregor profitable, and that its orders received increased
compared to the last quarter of 2016.
By 2020, our goal is to increase the share of services and software to 40
percent of Cargotec's sales. Service sales grew at Hiab and Kalmar but decreased
at MacGregor as a result of the difficult market situation. Our software
business developed positively in the first quarter, which reflects our efforts
over the past few years. During the first quarter, already as much as 32 percent
of our sales came from services and software.
We see many possibilities to improve the performance of the cargo handling value
chain. With our solutions, know-how and expertise we want to help our customers
make their operations more efficient. We are proceeding well towards our target
to be the leader in intelligent cargo handling.
