Cargotec was a Finnish provider of cargo and load-handling equipment and related services for ports, terminals, marine transportation, road transportation, and other industrial applications. Its businesses focused on improving the movement of goods through automation, electrification, equipment technology, maintenance, and lifecycle services.
Historically, Cargotec operated through three principal business areas: Kalmar, which supplied cargo-handling equipment and automation solutions for ports and terminals; MacGregor, which provided marine cargo-handling systems and services; and Hiab, which manufactured loader cranes, truck-mounted forklifts, forestry equipment, and related load-handling products. The company served customers across Europe, the Americas, Asia-Pacific, and other international markets.
In 2024, Cargotec completed a partial demerger that separated Kalmar into an independently listed company. Cargotec subsequently focused on its remaining businesses, including Hiab and MacGregor, before MacGregor was divested. The remaining company adopted the Hiab name, meaning that Cargotec is now primarily of historical relevance as the former parent organization of these cargo-handling businesses.
