Johan Bjerstedt has been appointed global sales manager for Konecranes' Liftace product family to grow sales and lead the way to further success for this important product group.
Since Konecranes' acquisition of Terex MHPS in early 2017, the lift trucks business unit has been divided into two product families: Konecranes SMV, a range of premium products that "are smarter where it matters", and Konecranes Liftace, a range of value-based, robust lift trucks that are highly appreciated for their ease of maintenance.
Bjerstedt is currently working with sales of Konecranes SMV products.
