October 6, 2006 • Haulotte Group, L'Horme, France, has released its financial reports for the first half of 2006.

Markets for Haulotte remained robust during the summer, which could be seen from the 50% increase in sales as of August 31st. The Haulotte Group is continuing to expand its sale networks into regions other than the EU and the US and are trying to remain ahead of a potential slackening in the mature markets in the US and the EU.
