On 19 August, a major milestone was reached in the expansion of Hiab\u2019s MULTILIFT production facility in Raisio, as the foundation stone was laid for the EUR 19 million investment announced in May 2025. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Hiab\u2019s Leadership Team was on site to mark the occasion and celebrate the start of the next chapter for the facility.<\/p>\n

A time capsule was placed inside the foundation stone, containing historical images from Hiab\u2019s history in Raisio, photos of latest MULTILIFT products TALON and New Optima, Hiab releases about the expansion, a copy of the local newspaper from the day of the ceremony, a drawing of the new facility as a symbol of the future, and a good-luck token. The participants then sealed the time capsule in the foundation stone with concrete.<\/p>\n

The next-generation production environment reinforces Hiab’s industry leadership across both its product offering and manufacturing capabilities. The project enables production capacity increase for market leading MULTILIFT demountables, vital for both defence and commercial sectors. With the new energy-efficient solutions the factory’s energy consumption will reduce and the upcoming modern production and office spaces will improve employee safety, comfort and satisfaction.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe expansion of the Raisio production facility is an important strategic milestone for Hiab, strengthening our leadership position and supporting our long-term growth targets. At the same time, it is a significant step towards lower emissions in manufacturing, supporting our ambition to improve energy efficiency at our sites,\u201d says Scott Phillips, President of Hiab.<\/p>\n

The Raisio expansion is estimated to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2027.<\/p>\n
