Raimondi makes a comeback

Italian tower crane manufacturer, Carlo Raimondi, which recently went into administration, has reorganised under a modified name and restarted production at its Legnano plant, following a capital injection from the Ramco Group of Qatar.

Following questions from Vertikal.Net a spokesman issued the following statement:

“Following the recent demise of Carlo Raimondi fu R. S.p.A., after the unfruitful takeover and management by SIME in 2006, we are pleased to be able to advise that the production of Raimondi tower cranes has restarted at the factory in Legnano.”

“The manufacture of the Raimondi brand is being reorganised under new management with the backing of the Ramco Group.”

“Ramco has 30 companies within its organisation, which is based in Qatar. Civil engineering and construction are part of Ramco’s activities, hence its interest in developing the manufacture of tower cranes which will be available on a world wide basis.“

“The Ramco Group will initially manufacture 100 cranes for its own operations in the Middle East and this will enable the new company Raimondi Cranes S.p.A. to regain its world position in tower crane manufacture during 2009.”
