Speaking of his time at Manitou Miller said: "I am grateful to have been able to contribute to this great company for over 15 years, and it has truly been a privilege to have had the good fortune to lead it for the last seven years. I am very proud of what we have been able to achieve with my Manitou colleagues around the world during a period of unprecedented challenges and opportunities. However difficult this is, now is the right time for me to make this move as I engage in the next phase of my life. The talented leadership in place gives me great confidence about Manitou Americas' ability for continued success to develop a sustainable and continued vision of growth for the company that will guide Manitou Americas well into the future.”

Manitou group chief executive Michel Denis added: "Dan has been a valued member of the Manitou leadership team, and his passion for the company and products will be missed. As we conduct an external search, we know it will take some time to find his successor, so we appreciate his willingness to remain for a period of time to help us with the transition. We wish him well as he embarks on this new chapter in his life.”
