Cargotec’s Interim Report for January–September 2007

Cargotec’s President and CEO Mikael Mäkinen: ‘The value of orders received during the third quarter exceeded a record level of 1 billion euros. It is a signal on one hand of healthy market activity and on another hand of our success in product development and in expansion of our global market presence. We continue our investments in strengthening Cargotec’s presence and market position also the remainder of the year. I am especially pleased with the strong sales growth in Asia as well as the healthy order intake in our offshore division acquired in spring. Despite the current weak demand for load handling equipment in the U.S. we believe also that market longer term offers us significant growth opportunities.’
