Tadano has completed its acquisition of the transportation system business of IHI Transport Machinery Co Ltd, a consolidated subsidiary of IHI Corporation. This acquisition marks a strategic milestone in Tadano’s ongoing effort to expand its product portfolio and enhance value for customers across the globe.

\n\n

As part of the transaction, a new company named IUK Crane Ltd was established on 17 February 2025 to facilitate the transfer of the subject business. On 1 July, Tadano acquired 100% of IUK Crane’s shares, making it a wholly owned subsidiary. In alignment with Tadano’s strategic direction, the company will be renamed Tadano Infrastructure Solutions Ltd and Toshiaki Ujiie, president, CEO and representative director of Tadano Ltd will also serve concurrently as president of the new subsidiary.

\n\n

This move advances Tadano’s mid-term management plan and further positions the company as a comprehensive provider of lifting solutions. IHI Transport Machinery’s transportation system business, with more than 50 years of engineering expertise, includes jib climbing cranes, port and large offshore cranes, wind power cranes, and bulk handling systems. These additions complement Tadano’s existing offerings, particularly its lattice boom crawler cranes produced in Germany, and enhance its ability to support customers in industries such as construction, ports and offshore, wind energy, and general industrial applications.

\n\n

“The completion of this acquisition is a key step in expanding our capabilities in the global lifting equipment market,” said Mr Ujiie. \"By integrating this business into our group, we are better equipped to serve the evolving needs of our customers and deliver long-term value.”
