Long time crane industry leader Steve Filipov has taken up a new position outside the crane industry.

Filipov is part of an international consortium that has acquired Metalliance, a French designer and manufacturer of underground vehicles, specialist materials handling machinery and and other equipment for the road and rail industries. Filipov also takes the role of chief executive officer at the company that will retain its existing name.

Announcing his move on LinkedIn Filipov said, “I am excited to share that I have accepted the role of CEO at Metalliance. Leading this esteemed company is an honour, and I am committed to driving us towards a prosperous future. Our focus on innovation, sustainability, and global expansion will reshape Metalliance’s trajectory in the tunneling industry and electric vehicles sector.”

Over the last three decades in the crane industry Filipov held leadership positions at manufacturers Terex (where he was for 25 years), Demag and Manitex. The Metalliance factory is in St Vallier, eastern France, close to the old Terex PPM factory at Montceau-les-Mines.
