PM, Oil & Steel, and Valla are pleased to participate in bauma 2025 as part of the Tadano family. The acquisition by Tadano earlier this year marked a pivotal milestone, strengthening the companies under a unified vision. Their presence at booth #FS.1203/1 showcases their commitment to innovation, operational synergies, and customer-centric solutions.
A New Era for PM, Oil & Steel, and Valla
At bauma, Tadano is officially announcing the next step in the integration of the Manitex Group: the unifying of the Manitex-related brands under the globally trusted Tadano name. PM, Oil & Steel, and Valla are now unified into the Tadano brand while retaining their former brand names within product nomenclature. For example, a PM 70.5 SP loader crane now islabeled as “Tadano PM 70.5 SP.”
This unifying strategy is designed to enhance customer clarity, streamline operations, and strengthen Tadano’s global brand presence.
Enhancing Synergies and Customer Experience
“As part of the Tadano family, we are entering a new era of innovation and operational excellence,” says Giovanni Tacconi, CEO of PM and Oil & Steel and Vice President of Manitex International, “The unifying branding strategy allows us to offer our customers an even more cohesive product portfolio while maintaining the strengths that made our brands successful.”
This strategic transition will ensure a seamless experience for customers, optimizing support services, procurement, and product development across all former Manitex brands. Visitors to booth #FS.1203/1 at bauma will have the opportunity to explore a wide range of lifting solutions, including PM loader cranes, Oil & Steel aerial work platforms, and Valla electric cranes, all aligned under Tadano’s commitment to quality and reliability.
A Stronger Future Together
“bauma 2025 is the perfect stage to highlight our vision for the future,” says Paolo Balugani, Managing Director of Valla. “The integration with Tadano enhances our ability to innovate and respond to customer needs faster, ensuring we remain at the forefront of lifting technology.”
With PM, Oil & Steel, and Valla now fully integrated into Tadano’s global network, customers will benefit from streamlined operations, enhanced support, and a broader range of lifting equipment solutions. The unifying brand approach will eliminate market confusion and reinforce Tadano’s reputation as a leading global provider of lifting solutions.
