arenas, like our smart crane technology and our facility to manufacture clean room cranes; a trend seen across the industry including, automation, robotics, and equipment that requires a high degree of quality control and documentation,” says Karen Norheim, president CMAA (Crane Manufacturers Association of America), part of MHI, the US (Material Handling, Logistics and Supply Chain Association) and president, American Crane & Equipment Corporation (ACECO). “As progress is made to improve the
products and systems that we offer it is important not to abandon what we do best. More than ever, it is time to “stay the course” and continue to provide outstanding customer service, responsiveness, and products that will go the distance, with a high degree of

reliability. American Crane and Equipment Corporation prides itself on having equipment that is still operating after 40 years, as it tends to be conservative in its design approach.”
The construction industry is expected
to lead the MHI market due to increasing reconstruction activities and developing economies as well as a surge in robotics and process automation. Increasing e-commerce and logistics industries is anticipated to bolster growth in the coming years as well as increasing adoption of online shopping and changing consumer preferences. However, high initial costs associated with purchasing and maintaining may hinder market growth. Asia Pacific is forecast to exhibit a higher
CAGR due to the increasing development in construction activities in developing countries, but North America holds the second-largest market share due to the presence of leading market players in the industry, which is expected to fuel the regional market growth. The key market players are focusing
on expanding their businesses globally by implementing various business growth strategies such as forming strategic alliances and acquiring supporting companies. Also, implementing innovative product development ideas to launch new products allowing companies to attract customers. Examples of companies forming
strategic alliances include CICB and ORBIT Industrial Service & Maintenance, which recently announced the opening of CICB’s third training center at ORBIT’S headquarters in Glendale, AZ. Based in Houston, TX with a second
training center in Orlando, FL, CICB continues to grow both domestically and abroad. With the addition of a third training center in Phoenix, CICB has increased its reach to the west coast. “For many years now, we have offered open enrollment classes at various locations in the area. To be able to schedule regular training in the Phoenix, AZ area is a huge win for our clients,” said Camille Singletary, open enrollment manager, CICB. CICB offers training and other services
