    Digital world premiere – live product launch of our LTM 1150-5.3

    Summer 2020: the design of our new jewel in every crane fleet was progressing, and the first prototype was in production. But then the question arose from marketing and product management: How are we going to present our new LTM 1150-5.3, now that the fall trade shows are canceled due to the coronavirus? After a quick brainstorming, it was clear that the only way to do a product presentation would be virtually. A script was worked out, and the handover building was promptly transformed into a film studio. There had never been a virtual product launch at Ehingen before, but this digital world premiere was a complete success thanks to the efforts of everyone involved.
