Cargotec Corporation has decided on its strategic priorities and reconfirms the
financial targets based on the strategy.

During the past years Cargotec has transformed from separate organisations to
one Cargotec with strong brands. The refined strategy is a natural continuation
of this work and the strategy explains the focus of operations in the coming
years."A clear focus, meaning a prioritised set of actions and allocation of
resources, is the key to strengthen our market leadership in the coming years.
We aim to grow faster than the industry on average. We are determined to grow
our business by customer focus, and segmentation will guide our business
development in the future. In addition to customer focus, we expect to achieve
growth by expanding our presence and offering especially in the emerging markets
and in the service business. Cargotec will also be further developed to a more
efficient world-class company and we will improve our ways of working through
aligned processes and increasing internal clarity," says Cargotec's President
and CEO Mikael Mäkinen.

Summary of Cargotec's focus:
   ·     Customer
   ·     Services
   ·     Emerging markets
   ·     Clarity

The financial targets for Cargotec have been reconfirmed based on the strategy.
