Global leader in industrial lifting solutions

At the time of exiting, KCI Konecranes (“the Company”) was a world-leading engineering group specialising in advanced overhead lifting solutions and maintenance services. The Company’s customers spanned virtually every industry and its products were used in shipyards, ports and terminals around the globe.

KCI Konecranes was acquired by the IK 1994 Fund in April 1994, later listing the firm on the Helsinki Stock Exchange in March 1996.

Our Value Creation Strategy
