JMG Cranes, founded by Maurizio Manzini, was born from over thirty years of experience in the Pick & Carry crane sector and has established itself as an international benchmark in the design and production of battery-powered electric cranes. From the very beginning, the company has continuously invested in research, technological innovation, and the enhancement of its human capital, building a path of steady growth based on quality and the ability to anticipate market needs.
Among the key milestones in its development are the patenting of the proportional telescopic boom, the opening of the Sarmato headquarters, the acquisition of the LIGE brand, and the creation of the Pick & Carry Hub in Cremona. These achievements have contributed to strengthening JMG Cranes’ presence in international markets.
The company’s constant growth and the increasing demand have led to the creation of the Crane Citadel, the new production and management hub in Sarmato (Piacenza), developed through the redevelopment of the former Eridania sugar refinery site. The project represents much more than a production expansion: it is the tangible expression of the company’s vision, founded on innovation, sustainability, and the central role of people.
The complex extends over a total area of approximately 200,000 square metres, with 14,000 square metres dedicated to production and 37,000 square metres of green areas, representing a virtuous example of industrial regeneration and investment in support of the local area.
“This facility is the symbol of our way of doing business: looking ahead without forgetting where we come from,” says Maurizio Manzini, founder of JMG Cranes. “The mantra that has always guided me is simple: never give up.”
Innovation continues to be the driving force behind JMG Cranes’ development. The company invests in the design of next-generation electric cranes and in the development of fuel cell-based technologies, with the aim of providing increasingly efficient and sustainable solutions.
This path also includes the H2 Valley – Pick & Carry Green project, which involves the construction, at the Sarmato site, of a green hydrogen production facility, contributing to the energy transition of the industrial sector.
In addition to the environmental benefits, the project promotes the growth of a local technological ecosystem, the development of specialised skills, and the spread of production models inspired by the principles of the circular economy.
With the Crane Citadel, JMG Cranes confirms its vision of a responsible and future-oriented company, capable of combining industrial growth, innovation, sustainability, and the enhancement of the local area, opening a new phase in its development journey.
