Software services major HCL Technologies today said that it has signed a five-year multi-million dollar deal with the US-based The Manitowoc Company.
HCL will be Manitowoc’s global engineering partner for the crane operations spanning the Americas, EMEA, and Asia/Pacific regions, HCL Technologies said in a statement.
Design centres
Capital goods manufacturer Manitowoc and HCL will also set up a global engineering centre in Pune to support Manitowoc’s design centres and accelerate its new product development initiatives in emerging regions such as India, China, and Brazil, it added.
Through the design centre, HCL offers a complete spectrum of engineering services to Manitowoc Cranes to produce blueprints for new and innovative crane models.
The centre will extend engineering design services support to Manitowoc’s key engineering hubs and innovation centres in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Germany, France, and Italy, it said.
The service offerings are primarily focused around product design, value engineering, structural engineering, embedded software development, and hardware engineering.
“Partnering with HCL enables us to further strengthen the core tenets of our strategy — to provide superior products and capitalise on global growth opportunities,” Manitowoc Cranes’ Senior Vice-President, Global Engineering and Innovation, Jens Ennen, said.
