2021 Outlook:
The continuation of the excellent sales momentum has enabled Haulotte to consolidate its historic order book level for the Group. However, given the confirmation of supply difficulties and strong price increase in components , the Group confirms its forecast of sales growth by more than +15% compared to 2020 and its objective of a current operating margin (excluding foreign exchange gains and losses) between 3% and 4% of revenue.
