Cargotec’s President and CEO Mikael Mäkinen:
“We have initiated significant structural changes and restructuring measures in order to improve efficiency and competitiveness. I am very satisfied with the commitment of our organisation to the change, although we have had to make tough decisions to adjust our cost structure. The cost savings are already beginning to improve our profitability. The current weak demand for cargo handling equipment is something we cannot impact, but with the restructuring, we are stronger than ever when the market recovers”, states President and CEO Mikael Mäkinen.
