Tadano said that the main theme for the company’s new four-year mid-term management plan, scheduled to begin in April 2008, is “Getting over the market about-turn and launching the Tadano group onto a new trajectory of growth.”

In August, the company celebrates the 60th anniversary of its foundation.

Tadano said that the company has done well to meet numerical goals set out in the 2004 plan, but did not give specific figures.
