Mantsinen hauls more load with less energy

Asia's bullish economies are witnessing a sharp rise in industrial production activities. Elevated investor and consumer confidence has increased the flow of goods in and out of the region, expanding the need for large-capacity and customised material handling equipment and logistics services.

Innovating for 50 years, global material handling and logistics service provider Mantsinen is determined to supply efficient, safe and tailor-made equipment to companies in China. It also seeks to extend its industry knowledge to Asia's growing port, terminal, woodyard and scrapyard operators and contractors groups.

"There is huge opportunity in China," says Mantsinen president and CEO Martti Toivanen. "There is a lot of interest coming in from China to use our machines equipped with hydraulic cranes."

Hauling capacity can be more than doubled using Mantsinen's material handling equipment, thanks to the machine's hydraulic mobile harbour cranes. Compared to using traditional cable cranes, operator cabins have better visibility and movement, saving energy and making material handling more precise and cost-efficient.

Committed to innovation, the Finnish family-owned company maintains a factory and research and development centre in Finland that designed and produced Mantsinen's range of 70- to 200-tonne specialised machines.

Trusted by international pulp, paper and timber manufacturers such as Stora Enso and Metsä Group, Mantsinen's logistics service has managed to create long-term co-operations.
