Commenting on the agreement, Antti Kaunonen, President of Kalmar, said: “This transaction follows Kalmar's strategy to focus on container ports, heavy industry and distribution segments.
“The rough terrain handling business is outside these core areas. Furthermore, KRTC operates to a large extent as a stand-alone business with limited synergies with the rest of Kalmar.”
