The commercial dynamism of the European zone was confirmed in most markets, enabling Haulotte Group to post annual sales growth of + 19% in this region.Asia-Pacific ended the year with revenue growth of + 7.5% (at constant exchange rate), thanks to a sharp rebound in Q4 sales in the Middle East and Asia.In North America, sales of aerial work platforms rose by + 21% over the period, confirming the strengthening of the Group's position in this market. The drop in scaffolding sales observed during the year (-25%) prevents Haulotte Group from posting revenue growth in this region.Finally, despite a slump in the Mexican market; the sales in Latin America rose by + 6% (at constant exchange rates) a sign of improvement in other markets.
