Port Technology

The Port Technology segment covers products and services for ports and terminals, which are sold under the Gottwald brand. The range extends from conventional cargo handling equipment such as Mobile Harbour Cranes to automated solutions for container transport and storage. In this segment, we also offer planning and consultancy services for port operators, software solutions as well as assembly and maintenance services. Our primary focus here is on solutions that enable our customers to optimise their material flow and logistics processes.

According to our own market research, we occupy the leading position in mobile harbour cranes with an installed base of over 1,400 cranes. The Demag Cranes Group also ranks among the pioneers and leading international suppliers in the promising terminal automation sector. In our view, developing fully integrated, end-to-end solutions including our own software solution and being able to offer them as a complete integrated system gives us a competitive advantage.

In financial year 2010/2011, the Port Technology segment generated revenue of EUR 239.0 million, which corresponds to a share of 22.5 per cent of total revenue.
