Paterson Simons was proud to attend the 2026 Manitou Mining Days at Manitou's headquarters in Ancenis, France, where dealers, subsidiaries and mining specialists from around the world came together to discuss the future of mining equipment.
The event focused on innovation, collaboration and the evolving needs of the mining industry, with valuable discussions helping to shape the next generation of Manitou mining telehandlers. It also provided an opportunity to explore Manitou's dedicated mining range, designed to deliver safe, reliable and productive performance in some of the world's most demanding operating environments.
As Manitou's authorised dealer for West & Central Africa, Paterson Simons is proud to support customers with specialised mining telehandlers backed by genuine parts, technical expertise and comprehensive after-sales service.
It was also a pleasure to reconnect with Baptiste Godard, now Vice President of Fleet Sales & Key Accounts at Manitou. Baptiste worked closely with the Paterson Simons team in Ghana in 2011 to help develop the first Manitou telehandlers with dedicated mining specifications. Fifteen years later, our partnership continues to drive innovation for the mining industry.
We also gained an exciting insight into Manitou's future product roadmap, including plans to expand the mining telehandler range and continue the electrification of construction equipment.
A big thank you to the Manitou Mining team for hosting such an informative and collaborative event.
