More specifically, what were
some of the achievements of the
period?
With overall trends confirming our
forecasts for flat growth worldwide,
we must continue to outperform
the market. We are however fully
prepared to meet this challenge.
In effect, we believe that we made
the necessary choices at the right
time to ensure the Group’s
sustainable and strong expansion
in an environment where rigorous
standards make a decisive
difference.
To this purpose, in 2007 we
launched two manufacturing plants
to sustain strong expansion in
emerging countries, particularly
in Eastern Europe and the Middle
East, and to develop the
telehandler line in a market where
we had not historically been
present.
Initial performances of these two
plants in Spain and Romania have
been particularly satisfactory. As
a result, measures to further
support and build on this success
in Romania are currently under
study.

In the 2006 annual report, we
emphasized the Group’s strategy
of international expansion to
strengthen our position as number
three worldwide.
As we continue to reinforce our
commercial network, this strategy
remains just as pertinent.
Accordingly, in 2007 three new
offices were opened in Mexico,
Dubai and Argentina.
We have also increased our
presence at major worldwide
exhibitions. Haulotte Group has
thus participated in many trade
fairs throughout the world,
progressively building brand
recognition over the years through
strong marketing and original
communication initiatives.
In the area of innovation and the
continuing expansion of the
product offering, noteworthy
achievements include a worldwide
premiere 28-metre telescopic big
boom with a telescopic jib to be
presented in early 2008. This work
platform with its oscillating axle is
adapted to a wide range of working
environments.
