Stirnimann, which is also a dealer for Manitowoc’s Grove mobile crane line of products, supplies a range of self-erecting and top-slewing tower cranes across Switzerland, operating from sites in Bonaduz, Olten and Préverenges.

Priding itself on being an ‘end-to-end’ lifting solutions provider, Stirnimann managing director, Fritz Oschwald says the long-standing partnership with Manitowoc has helped to provide timely and first-rate support for its customers.

Oschwald said: “Every day, we appreciate the value of working with a global specialist in the lifting industry. Manitowoc has always supported us efficiently and involved us intimately in the development of many cranes.

“We see our collaboration with Manitowoc as a long-term partnership. Both Manitowoc and Stirnimann share the same belief that the distributor adds real value in the market, by responding swiftly and knowledgeably to the needs of our customers.”

Manitowoc’s vice president of sales for Central and Eastern Europe, Klaus Kroeppel, added: “One of the foundations of Manitowoc’s industry-leading sales and service operations is its solid dealer network.

“We are delighted to continue our strong and successful partnership with Stirnimann because they are a dependable partner, offer local expertise and support customers so they get the most from their cranes. The company has an excellent reputation in the industry.”
