The appointments are part of a wider strategy by Manitowoc to strengthen its business in the Philippines.

Macatangay said the new additions will help manage growing activity levels in the Philippines and rising demand for Manitowoc cranes. He said, “The country continues to show positive signs of growth and we want to invest in our business to ensure we provide the very best levels of service to our expanding customer base. In addition to hiring new team members, we also want to expand our workshop and warehouse facilities over the course of 2018.”

Overall, customers in the Philippines can choose from a wide range of Grove mobile cranes and Manitowoc crawler cranes. The more popular cranes include industrial cranes, rough-terrain cranes and all-terrain. The company’s range of Manitowoc crawler cranes is also available in the Philippines.
