Major order for Demag from BMW

Demag Cranes has reinforced its
position in the automotive sector
with a major order from BMW. The
company has received an order from
the vehicle manufacturer to supply
28 cranes to serve press lines at its
locations in Leipzig, Regensburg and
Dingolfing.

The order includes 23 process
cranes with lifting capacities of up to
55t, two semi-portal
cranes, one full portal
crane and two
standard cranes. The
order highlights the
proven and
longstanding
relationship between
the two companies.

BMW has been using
Demag Cranes’ technology in its
production activities for decades.

This order is the second significant
contract, placed with Demag Cranes,
by BMW within the last four years. In
2008, nine process crane systems were
delivered to BMW plants at Leipzig,
Regensburg and Dingolfing.
