Cargotec's President and CEO Mika Vehviläinen:
Our profit improvement programme progressed as planned in Hiab and Kalmar during the third quarter, and its effects are already being seen in both businesses' operating profit figures. We are continuing our determined efforts to complete this programme. Hiab and Kalmar's market environment remained unchanged, however, uncertainty has increased. Third-quarter orders for both business areas were in line with the comparison period.

Uncertainty increased in MacGregor's market during the autumn. In order to safeguard improved profitability in such a market, we have decided to launch measures in several areas, such as sales, services and procurement, and have established a more customer-oriented organisation. The development of this business area will require the same determined efforts that are already bearing fruit at Hiab and Kalmar.
