Finnish manufacturers riding high

Kalmar has signed a framework service agreement with Volvo Penta to become an authorized service provider for Volvo Penta engines in its machines, allowing Kalmar technicians to perform both warranty and post-warranty service and repairs.

MCT welcomed 16 hybrid straddle carriers, delivered earlier this week aboard Spliethoff’s multipurpose vessel, Fagelgracht.

Kalmar Corporation has partnered with CES Srl to globally distribute and service CES reach stackers over 125 tonnes.

Orders and sales have fallen in the first half of 2024, but Kalmar says it remains on the path to meeting its profitability target.

The big cargo handling equipment manufacturers are pushing ahead with fully electric mobile machines, but demand is still in its early stages, and not every manufacturer is ready to join the party just yet.

The investment will facilitate Penang Port’s initial step towards insourcing empty container handling and implementing container weighing operations.
