Manitowoc appoints new dealers
Longstanding Potain dealer for Switzerland and Austria, Stirnimann has expanded its sales, rental and service activities into Denmark, Greenland, and the Faroe Islands.
“The new territories offer good opportunities for our business. Potain is a strong brand in these areas, and we can leverage our long experience from Switzerland and from building up a new market in Austria,” said John Cristian Asmussen, CEO for Stirnimann in Denmark, Greenland, and the Faroe Islands.

From its new location in Ølstykke, near Copenhagen, Stirnimann will offer sales of Potain top-slewing and self-erecting models, tower crane rental, parts, and servicing. Besides the office building, the new facility incorporates a 4,000 m2 yard and parts warehouse.

Wybe Smit, Manitowoc’s regional director for tower cranes in The Netherlands and Scandinavia, said: “Stirnimann has a highly competent team and has already made significant investments for the region. We are pleased to deepen our already close cooperation with them.”

Stirnimann has ordered a package of 17 Potain cranes for its rental fleet, which it will continuously strengthen over the coming years. Among the new cranes is Scandinavia’s first Igo T 99 self-erecting crane.
