ABOUT
Manitou Group
“I had to find a name for these forklifts … It’ll be MANITOU, a name decided during a family brainstorming session: a forklift that «handles» everything! It is pronounceable in every language and is ideal for international development!”
– Marcel Braud, Founder of Manitou
Founded over 60 years ago by Braud family, the Manitou Group is now a world-leader in all-terrain material handling. The Group designs, manufactures, distributes and services equipment for construction, agriculture and industries.
The group’s product lines include fixed, rotary and heavy-tonnage rough-terrain telehandlers, rough-terrain, semi-industrial and industrial forklifts, skid and track loaders, articulated loaders, backhoe loaders, aerial work platforms, truck-mounted forklifts, storage equipment and attachments.
Headquartered in France and distributed through a network of 1,500 dealers in 140 countries, the group’s three leading brands – Manitou, Gehl and Mustang – offer the best solutions by creating the greatest value for its customers. With 28 companies and 4,400 employees, the group posted revenues of 1.9 billion euros in 2018 across the world.
