This week, Manitou Group, a manufacturer of material handling, aerial work platforms and earthmoving sectors, inaugurated a 75,000 square-foot expansion to its 220,000 square foot plant in Yankton, South Dakota. This event coincided with the 50th anniversary of this site, which produces telehandlers and articulated loaders.

Ceremony attendees included Jacqueline Himsworth, chairman of the board of Manitou Group, Michel Denis, Manitou Group president and CEO, national representatives from the state of South Dakota, and Yankton mayor, Mason Schramm. 

This event comes a year after inaugurating the expansion of its neighbouring plant in Madison, South Dakota. This new expansion will support production of the new range of telehandlers dedicated to the North American market. This $20 million investment will provide the Yankton site with innovative industrial resources, such as laser-cutting machines, and an automated moving assembly line to support the group’s expansion in the United States.
