Corporate Information

Founded in France and publicly listed, Manitou has grown from the originator of the all-terrain forklift concept into a globally recognised equipment group. The company remains closely tied to telehandlers and related handling equipment even as it broadens into access and compact machinery.

Economic Analysis

Manitou benefits from structural demand for telehandlers and multi-use lifting equipment, especially in Europe and agriculture-adjacent markets. The business is still cyclical, with results dependent on dealer inventory, rental demand, housing and farm investment, while product electrification and service penetration are key levers for future quality of earnings.

Products & Services

Its brands cover telehandlers, rough-terrain forklifts, aerial work platforms, skid-steer and compact loaders, warehouse solutions, attachments, services and connected fleet tools. Manitou's product strategy is built around material handling productivity across mixed indoor-outdoor working environments.
