Manitou Group: update on COVID-19 situation
Ancenis, March 26, 2020
In accordance with the general containment obligations decreed in Italy and
India, Manitou Group has temporarily ceased its industrial activities in these
two countries. These shutdowns follow those of the French operations
communicated on March 17, 2020.
In the group's distribution companies, business is also very slow in most
geographical areas due to the globalization of containment policies and market
uncertainty.
Where authorized and when conditions allow this, the group maintains the
distribution of spare parts in order to be able to serve its operating
customers.
The scale and uncertainties of COVID-19 lead Manitou Group to suspend any
financial guidance for the year 2020.
