France ·
Manitou Group is a French manufacturer of handling equipment serving agriculture, construction and industry. It works through two brands, Manitou and Gehl, and its product lines include fixed, rotary and heavy-tonnage rough-terrain telehandlers as well as compact loaders. The company remains controlled by its founding families, keeps its headquarters in France and is listed on the Paris Stock Exchange.
On farms, Manitou machines handle feed, bales and bulk materials such as grain, fertiliser and manure. A telehandler combines the reach of a crane with the versatility of a loader, so one machine can stack bales, fill feeders and load trailers by switching attachments. When choosing a loader, the capacity at the reach actually needed matters more than the headline maximum lifting figure, and parts and servicing support keep machines working through busy seasons.
Size of the business
Manitou Group reported revenue of EUR 2.564 billion in 2025, of which agriculture represented 24%; the rest came from other industries.
What does the company offer?
Manitou Group offers telehandlers, compact loaders, attachments, and parts and servicing.
