Manitou launches Manitou Group Parts brand
Manitou Group is launching a new brand for its spare parts offering to simplify parts availability for the user while reducing the group's environmental impact.
Since it changed the strategy of its commercial brands, namely Manitou, Gehl and MustangbyManitou, Manitou Group has undertaken the process of simplifying its spare parts offering.
What was previously two XPRT spare part brands for Gehl and MustangbyManitou equipment and Manitou for machines of the same brand, will now be under one brand, Manitou Group Parts.
With this single brand, the group hopes to make it easier for users to search for spare parts while optimizing order preparation with the same packaging for all parts. “Manitou Group Parts is the result of the streamlining of our spare parts brand. Our goal is to improve the legibility of our brand. This project fits perfectly within our CSR approach: we redesigned the packages with our suppliers in order to limit our consumption of raw materials and reduce costs. We are using less ink on the boxes and less plastic for the packaging, and all of the boxes we use are certified 100 percent recyclable,” says Valérie Mougin, customer experience project manager for spare parts.
The various packages have the new logo with the three brands: Manitou, Gehl and MustangbyManitou, all in the same color for better legibility.
The Manitou Group Parts brand will group all 500,000 part references listed in the catalog. Nearly 200 employees are working to prepare more than 9,000 package lines shipped every day from nine logistics centers in France, Italy, Russia, United States, Brazil, Singapore, India and South Africa.
