Our Commitment:
We Can Handle It.

Our Vision:
We want to be the first choice in our markets.
 
Only being rated second by our customers usually means the difference of being awarded a contract or not. Accordingly, we strive to be the “first choice” when it comes to offering solutions in material-handling and port logistics technology. However, we strive also to be the first choice on the capital market. The Demag Cranes share needs to meet the expectations of our shareholders with regard to the return on their investments and also enjoy their trust as a reliable investment. In achieving our Vision, we will continue to focus on sustained and profitable growth and thus secure the future for the Demag Cranes Group.

Our Mission:
We ease the workload of our customers.

The focus of our business is our customers. Understanding their needs and offering new solutions and the best possible service eases the workload of our customers both literally and figuratively. We aim to strengthen customer loyalty and to further increase customer satisfaction.

We are committed to technological leadership through innovation. 
For decades, the brands of the Demag Cranes Group have stood for the highest quality of German engineering and leading-edge technology. Thanks to sustained, above-average investments in research and development, we intend not only to maintain our leading edge, but to keep ahead of the competition.

We lift values. 
Lifting values is our daily business. “Lifting values” also means to generate potential and create value. Achieving our ambitious goals and increasing the shareholder value of our investors or improving the qualifications of our employees by promoting training in all its forms are only a few examples to demonstrate how we strive to implement this principle.

We focus on stained and profitable growth. 
For us, growth is not a means to an end. Above all, the quality of that growth is important to us. Accordingly, we focus on sustainability of our rate of growth while ensuring to increase our profitability in order to improve our competitive edge and the market position of the Demag Cranes Group long-term.

We shape markets. 
We introduce new accents whether through our innovative products, our exceptional customer-driven approach or success-promising strategies. In this way, we shape our markets to allow our Vision to become reality – to be the first choice.
