Linde manufacturing plants remain – for the time being

Konecranes will continue to use Linde products and the brand name for the next two years, after which it will decide if it wishes to cease manufacturing any product or to manufacture them at its own facilities under the Konecranes brand.

Due to cheaper labour costs this will probably be in line with Konecranes’ recent decision to move some (for the moment) product manufacturing from its factories in Sweden, Finland and Germany to other Group facilities and the Group´s extensive subcontracting network.

\”After this two years period, Linde Material Handling will sell Linde container handling trucks manufactured and supplied by Konecranes, as well as Konecranes container lift trucks,” Detlef Sieverdingbeck, head of corporate communication, told CM.
