The efforts on the international material handling market over the past years have paid off again in 2006. They brought the Mannheim based hoisting specialist SWF Krantechnik GmbH yet again a good growth. The good, strong business relations with independent crane building companies and hoisting dealers are one reason for success. This is joined by the market dominating products electric wire rope hoist NOVA and electric chain hoist SK that cover a wide range of applications in both industry and crafts. And in the end, the team around managing director Jürgen Dlugi does play an important part in the now six year story of success. “Our crystal clear strategy and our immense team spirit are the key to our success. We have more than met our expectations for 2006. And that, last but not least, with the help of our loyal partners.“ says Dlugi.

A growth of 57 % in contract volume. Clear increase in quantity for electric chain hoists SK and electric wire rope hoists NOVA. Nearly half as many more crane component kits “Cranekit” compared to last year. That is in short the result for SWF’s past trading year. Among the strongest export markets are next to Eastern and Southern Europe the Middle East.
