French access and telehandler manufacturer 712 Haulotte returned to profit in 2012 and, though the first quarter of 2013 is down year-on-year, CEO Alexandre Saubot remains confident about continued growth this year.

“We achieved a decent performance in 2012 with almost 16% growth,” said Saubot. “2013 will remain a challenge for us, we will have to continue to work hard for sales growth.”

Latin American markets showed the strongest recovery last year, led by Brazil, with sales up 76% in the region. This was followed by North America, up 27%, Asia Pacific gaining 24% and Europe recovering to 5.3% growth.

Saubot admitted that sales in the first quarter are down 5% on last year but he said this related to a number of large deals, which have been moved to the second quarter.

“Quarter two will be key and 688 Bauma is definitely one the key events of the year,” he said.

Stand: F9 903/5
