300 visitors were treated to anniversary cake champagne live music with a festive atmosphere to commemorate the occasion. Barry Pennypacker president and CEO of Manitowoc cut the cake and emphasized how the legacy of founder Faustin Potain is still very much alive in Manitowoc’s culture today.
“Over nine decades the Potain name has become synonymous with the tower crane industry. Today it is a vital part of the success of Manitowoc Cranes. When creating and developing his company Mr. Potain emphasized three simple values: proximity to the customer innovation and performance. When I compare these values to Manitowoc’s core tenets of Velocity and Innovation I think Mr. Potain would approve. He created a great legacy by focusing on customers and I hope this is evident in the product and service innovations on display here at Intermat Paris 2018 ” he said.
