Zhangjiagang, China
The Manitowoc Co. is planning to construct a new crane manufacturing facility in Zhangjiagang, China. Replacing and more than doubling the footprint of an existing 120,000-sf factory that produces Potain power cranes, the project is slated for completion in early 2006. Additionally, construction is currently under way on a 190,000-sf manufacturing and training facility near Hangzhou, China, to expand The Manitowoc Co.s' ice, beverage, and refrigeration equipment markets. Completion is expected in the third quarter of 2005.
