Manitowoc Crane Group appointed three new global product managers
responsible for ensuring that MCG lifting solutions are fulfilling market needs

global lifting needs.
"Our global product managers will complement our existing product managers.
They will ensure that new and existing cranes meet global market needs and
fulfill our company objectives," he said. "These individuals were
chosen because of their knowledge of global market dynamics. Their job is to
synthesize regional strategies into a global vision and work with product and
marketing management to offer our customers the most innovative lifting
equipment on a global basis."
David Havard most recently served as product manager for Potain self-erecting
cranes, while Neil Hollingshead is returning to MCG. He previously served as
product manager for Grove all-terrain mobile cranes. Ruben Olivas Saunders most
recently served as sales manager for Potain in Central and South America. Raman
