The PALFINGER Group has acquired all shares in its Danish dealer, Palfinger Danmark AS, with immediate effect. The purchase agreement includes the further employment of all staff members and the continuation of the whole sales & service network. The former sole owner, STIHOLT HOLDING A/S, will focus henceforth on its core business. The successful management of Palfinger Danmark, led by CEO Jens Kristoffersen, will continue to manage the company.
