Inauguration of the expansion and 50th anniversary of Yankton plant

Manitou Group inaugurates a 75,000 sq ft (7,000 m²) expansion to its plant in Yankton, South Dakota, USA, dedicated to the production of telehandlers and articulated loaders.

With 75,000 sq ft (7,000 m²) added to the existing 220,000 sq ft (20,000 m²), this $20 million investment will support production of the new range of telehandlers dedicated to the North American market, as well as provide the Yankton site with innovative industrial resources, such as laser-cutting machines and an automated moving assembly line to support the group's expansion in the United States.

This is an important growth lever in a particularly dynamic market. This new industrial site will enable us to keep pace with this strong demand, while delivering ever greater added value to our customers.
