MacGregor reorganisation
MacGregor, part of Cargotec, has announced changes in its operative structure and starts a reorganisation into seven operative divisions which will become effective on 1 January 2015.
The six new operative divisions together with Global Lifecycle Support as the seventh one, the company claims will enable MacGregor to improve customer service throughout the lifecycle of the products, offer more comprehensive packages and boost the development of new shiptype-specific solutions.
The MacGregor portfolio has grown significantly through acquisitions and now comprises of also Hatlapa, Porsgrunn, Pusnes, Triplex and Woodfield products. The new Divisions will work closely together in marketing, sales, sourcing, R&D and engineering and thus leverage the scale and capabilities of the whole MacGregor organisation for the benefit of MacGregor’s customers. To support this cross-divisional work, two new MacGregor Group-level functions have been established in R&D and Sourcing, and Marketing and Business Development.
The new operative divisions as of 1 January 2015 are:
-Auxiliary and Machinery Systems
-Cargo Handling
-Offshore Load Handling
