Now, this established legacy moves into a new phase. On April 1, 2025, Hiab officially began its journey as an independent, standalone company, listed on Nasdaq Helsinki Stock Exchange. This step reflects our commitment to charting our own course, strengthening our focus on our customers, and continuing to drive innovation within the load handling industry.

A history of innovation: building the future through solutions
Hiab’s story is one of continuous problem-solving, starting with the ingenuity of two Swedish brothers who addressed the need for efficient timber movement. That initial idea sparked a tradition of innovation that continues to guide us.
The HIAB loader crane, the MOFFETT truck mounted forklift, and the MULTILIFT demountables are examples of Hiab's enduring commitment to addressing real-world challenges and supporting our customers' productivity.
A new era: agility, customer focus, and sustainable growth
As we move forward as a standalone company, we retain this spirit of innovation with a focus on agility and customer needs. This allows us to further concentrate on research and development to create smarter, safer, and more sustainable solutions.
With our customers’ needs in mind, we will enhance our commitment to providing tailored solutions and building long-lasting relationships based on trust and collaboration. Our approach to growth will prioritize sustainability, developing eco-friendly solutions and minimizing our environmental impact.
