NFT Appointed as Potain Dealer

The Manitowoc Company, Inc. has announced that NFT, the world’s largest owner of Potain cranes, has been appointed as a Potain dealer in Hong Kong. This appointment allows NFT to offer sales, rental, and service support for tower cranes in the region.

Celebration Gala Event

To commemorate this new partnership, NFT Hong Kong hosted a gala event in July 2024. The event was attended by customers, partners, and senior leaders from Manitowoc, showcasing the strong bond between the companies.

New Official Dealer

NFT Hong Kong is now the official dealer for Potain cranes in the market. This move is part of the broader NFT Group Asia, which includes NFT Taiwan and other subsidiary businesses across the continent.

Positive Market Reception

Manitowoc’s sales director, Jean-Francois Amet, expressed his excitement about the partnership, highlighting the importance of having strong representation in Hong Kong to maintain Potain’s leading position in the industry. The market has already shown a positive reaction to the collaboration, indicating potential benefits for both Potain and NFT.

Potain Cranes in Hong Kong

NFT Hong Kong boasts a rental fleet of 40 Potain tower cranes, catering to contractors and rental companies in the region. Potain’s luffing jib tower cranes, including models like the MR 418, MR 608, and MR 618 from Potain’s European offerings, are popular choices due to Hong Kong’s unique skyline with high-rise buildings.

In addition, high-capacity flat-top cranes from Potain’s range built in Zhangjiagang, China, are also favored for their robust lifting performance and easy assembly. The adaptability of these cranes on job sites with limited space makes them ideal for various projects.

Impressive Market Expansion

The partnership between Potain and NFT in Hong Kong signifies a significant step towards expanding Potain’s presence in the region. With a strong dealer like NFT offering sales, rental, and customer service, the collaboration is set to benefit both companies and meet the evolving demands of Hong Kong’s construction industry.
