context_page_description: Haulotte Group is a major French aerial work platform manufacturer, the third-largest company in the world in this area of products.
context_section_description: Pinguely and Haulotte were both taken over by the steel conglomerate Creusot-Loire. Creusot-Loire went bankrupt in 1984, and the future of Pinguely and Haulotte was in doubt. In 1985, both companies were bought by Pierre Saubot. Saubot had spotted a new market for aerial work platforms, and that work was assigned to Haulotte. Pinguely manufactured tower cranes in the meantime, mainly to fulfill a contract with the French Army. By the mid-90s, Haulotte was the leading manufacturer of aerial work platforms in France. The companies were kept separate through the 80s, and in 1995 became Pinguely-Haulotte. It was decided to concentrate on the aerial platform business, although Pinguely had won a contract worth FF300 million to supply equipment to the French Army.
