Manitowoc restructures in Asia/Mid East

Manitowoc has made two new senior sales management appointments in Asia and the Middle East.
The changes are another step in the recent restructuring that saw the separation of the Potain tower crane business from that of the mobile crane division.

Christophe Simoncelli has been appointed vice president Potain tower crane sales for Asia and the Middle East. He was previously vice president of sales for Western Europe and French-speaking Africa. As part of the move Simoncelli is relocating from France to Singapore, and will also take over as general manager of the company’s regional headquarters in Singapore.

The respective tower crane and mobile crane organisations will cover all customer focused aspects of the business including sales of new and used cranes, spare parts sales, rental sales, field service activities, marketing support and marketing communications.

Following these changes Jack Lee, the long standing general manager of Crane Care Asia, has announced his retirement, while Raman Joshi, executive vice president for Asia/Pacific, has left the company.
