Review by President and CEO at Cargotec’s Annual General Meeting


In Cargotec's Annual General Meeting starting today at 3.00 p.m. (Finnish time) 
President and CEO Mikael Mäkinen will address the market situation and outlook  
for year 2007.                                                                  

“The year 2007 has started in line with our expectations stated in conjunction  
with the release of our financial statements on January 30, 2007. Market        
activity has been high in the beginning of the year and our order intake has    
continued healthy. We expect healthy organic growth as achieved in 2006 to      
continue also this year. We have been active and successful in closing          
acquisitions in the first two months of the year. In our consolidating market we
will continue with acquisitions which, in addition to organic growth, form part 
of our growth strategy. Taking into account the acquisitions done and those     
on-going Cargotec's net sales growth is expected to clearly exceed the targeted 
10 percent level in 2007”, states Cargotec's President and CEO Mikael Mäkinen.
