Haulotte celebrates 40 years of innovation and growth

Reading 1 min

Haulotte, a global leader in the access industry, proudly celebrates its 40th anniversary. Since its inception, the company has been at the forefront of innovation, providing cutting-edge solutions to ensure safety and efficiency in working at height.


The Haulotte story took a decisive turn in 1985 when Pierre Saubot acquired both Pinguely and Haulotte from the French group Creusot Loire. Under his leadership, Haulotte gradually shifted its focus to aerial work platforms, while military-oriented mobile crane activities remained concentrated in Pinguely. This strategic direction paved the way for Haulotte’s rapid expansion in the access industry.

1998

A major milestone came in December 1998, when the Group went public on the Paris stock exchange’s Secondary Market. This move provided the financial leverage needed to accelerate its international growth.

2005

By 2005, Pinguely-Haulotte officially became Haulotte Group, reinforcing its global footprint with 20 Sales & Services subsidiaries worldwide. Today, Haulotte is recognized as a key player in the industry, committed to delivering innovative and sustainable solutions.



Reflecting on this journey, Pierre Saubot recalls:

“It was a bold gamble and, in retrospect, almost foolish. At the time, French industry was going through a crisis, and investing all my savings in a heavy engineering company seemed unreasonable. However, driven by my passion and knowledge of the sector, I rose to the challenge. Today, I have fond memories of this adventure, with its mix of excitement, doubts, and the unfailing support of my family.”
Remaining true to its values, Haulotte has retained its independence through majority shareholding and continuous reinvestment in the company.





Looking ahead, CEO Alexandre Saubot continues to drive the company forward with a commitment to innovation and sustainability.

“Our core mission is to protect people by offering advanced, environmentally-friendly solutions. As we celebrate this milestone, we reaffirm our dedication to shaping the future of the access industry with cutting-edge technology and customer-driven innovations.”
As Haulotte marks four decades of excellence, the company remains focused on its vision: empowering safe and sustainable work at height for industries worldwide.
