In Asia-Pacific, Haulotte, which achieved its best quarter of the year in Q4, still posted a -16% drop in sales compared to 2020.
In North America, business continued to grow, enabling Haulotte to record a +43% increase in revenues for all its activities. The aerial work platform sales are up +52% compared to last year.
In Latin America, in a well-oriented market in all countries, Haulotte posted cumulative sales growth of +48% increase, driven mainly by Brazil.
In 2021, equipment sales are up +11%, rental activity +40%, driven by the rebound in Argentina and scaffolding. Service activities, which reached its highest level ever, grew by +22%.
2022 Outlook:
In line with previous communications, Haulotte is entering 2022 with a historic level of orders in a market that remains dynamic. In this context, despite the persistent tensions concerning the procurement of certain components, Haulotte expects its sales to grow by more than +20% in 2022.
