It does look like konecranes have lost the plot.

The linde deal is odd. They have taken a competitor out but the benefit is everyone elses. I bet kalmar and hyster cannot believe their good luck at this stupidity. It is known that merthyr was a loss-making plant and kone pay linde for a loss making business. Shouldnt linde pay kone for taking the liability. I bet linde can't believe their luck either.

I think the clue is in the name. Konecranes are crane people who are playing at the fork lift industry and dont understand the rules of the game
