 August 30, 2006 • Manitowoc Crane Group's (MCG) Asia-Pacific operation in Singapore has relocated to new premises, due to continued growth, personnel expansion, and the need for increased resources. The Singapore office serves as a regional center for the operation of MCG Asia-Pacific. It employs 44 people, including 20 employees dedicated to Manitowoc Crane CARE services.
 

The new office • located in Kwong Min Road, Singapore • opened last month, with 80 customers, dealers, and guests in attendance. The opening ceremony was also used to commemorate the handover of the first 250-ton GMK6250-L, which was sold to local customer, Hiap Tong Crane & Transport.

Aside from the offices, MCG opened a new Manitowoc Crane CARE facility, located at the rear of the building. The new facility offers increased parts availability, improved workshop facilities, and a training department.

 

John Stewart, vice president of sales for MCG Asia-Pacific, said he was pleased with the event's turnout, and is positive about the changes made.

 

“The market has been very strong in the Asia-Pacific region,” he said. “Because demand has been so high, we have to keep growing and adding more staff, which is why we have moved to our new facilities. We look forward to the new challenges ahead, and we are certain that this move will prove a positive one.”
