Many of our North American customers are asking that our equipment be built stateside and with US parts to avoid the volatility of currency risk, to increase spare parts availability, and to reduce shipping costs. Additionally, we have seen a trend in some markets that our equipment be specified with US parts to meet their manufacturing guidelines. |
This move shows our strong commitment to responding to these market requests. We will be increasing our spare parts stock in St. Louis, supporting our cranes with a larger technical and manufacturing operation, and meeting the demands of our marketplace. |
