Manitou Opens Indonesian Subsidiary in Jakarta

Manitou Group has inaugurated a new subsidiary in Indonesia, expanding its direct presence in Southeast Asia under the LIFT roadmap.

Indonesia remains one of the region’s most dynamic economies. Trading Economics data puts GDP growth at around 5% in 2025, with forecasts still near 5% for 2026. Infrastructure spending is a key driver: Southeast Asia Infrastructure estimates the Indonesian government plans to invest $617 billion between 2025 and 2029.

One of the clearest signals is rising rental demand for lifting and material-handling equipment. Arizton estimates Indonesia’s construction equipment rental market could reach $795 million by 2029, with average annual growth close to 9%. In forklifts, rental is projected to increase from $108 million in 2025 to $162 million by 2031.

The new subsidiary will focus on telehandlers, aerial work platforms for the rental channel (including rent-to-rent), and rough-terrain and industrial forklifts. Manitou and Gehl dealers will continue to manage distribution and service support in Indonesia, including earthmoving lines such as backhoe loaders and skid steer loaders.

PT Manitou Indonesia Perkasa in Jakarta.
