Konecranes Plc announced Konecranes Business Area Equipment has initiated actions to align operations closer to customers. In doing so, the Group, in its Business Unit Industrial Cranes will organize itself into larger sales areas with fewer, yet stronger units. In addition, the company will consider discontinuing industrial crane manufacturing in Hyvinkää, Finland and Vic, Spain.
