All three segments increased sales, improved operating margin and grew backlog. Aerial Work Platforms (AWP) grew in North America and Europe, and expanded its operating margin. Cranes continued to be profitable in the third quarter, realizing benefits from its restructuring program. Materials Processing (MP) continued its excellent performance, growing sales and operating margin for the fourth consecutive quarter.
“Footprint consolidation progress in the quarter included completing the sale of manufacturing locations in Jinan, China and Bierbach, Germany. “
