GENERAL

- ---------------



The Manitowoc Company, Inc. is a Wisconsin corporation which

was founded in 1902. Its principal office is located at 500

South 16th Street, Manitowoc, Wisconsin, 54221-0066. The

Manitowoc Company, Inc. (referred to as the "Company" or

"Manitowoc") is a leading manufacturer of engineered capital

goods and support services for selected market segments which

today include Foodservice Equipment, Cranes and Related

Products, and Marine. The Company is principally engaged in:

1) the design and manufacture of commercial ice machines,

ice/beverage dispensers and refrigeration products for the

foodservice, lodging, convenience store, healthcare and the

soft-drink bottling and dispensing industries; 2) the design

and manufacture of cranes and related products which are used

by the energy, petroleum, chemical, construction, mining and

other industries; and 3) ship-repair, conversion, and new

FINANCIAL INFORMATION ABOUT BUSINESS SEGMENTS

- --------------------------------------------------------------


For information relating to the Company's lines of business

and industry segments, see "Management's Discussion and

Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition,"

"Eleven-Year Financial Summary," and Notes 1-15 to

Consolidated Financial Statements on pages 26-31, 32-33, and

38-46, respectively, of the 2000 Annual Report, which are

incorporated herein by reference.





PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

- ----------------------------------------



Foodservice Equipment

- ------------------------------



The Foodservice segment consists of eleven business units that

design, manufacture and market commercial ice-cube machines

and storage bins, ice/beverage dispensers, walk-in

refrigerators and freezers, reach-in refrigerators and

freezers, refrigerated undercounter and food prep tables,

private label residential refrigerators/freezers, post-mix

beverage dispensing valves, cast aluminum cold plates, long

draw beer dispensing systems, compressor racks, modular

refrigeration systems, and backroom beverage equipment

distribution services. Products are sold under the following

brand names; Manitowoc, Kolpak, McCall, Harford, Koolaire,

SerVend, Flomatic, Multiplex, MBS and RDI.



Manitowoc Ice, Inc. is the largest company within the

Foodservice segment. Manitowoc Ice machines are manufactured

in a modern, fully-equipped facility located in Manitowoc,

Wisconsin. Internationally, Manitowoc Ice has manufacturing

facilities in China and Italy along with established

distribution centers in France, Scotland, and the MERCURSOR

trade region. The Manitowoc Ice product line consists of 22

models of commercial ice-cube machines offering daily output

capacities from 45 pounds (21 kgs.) to 2,000 (908 kgs.) pounds

and feature a patented self-cleaning capability. The ice

machines are complemented by storage bins, with capacities

from 150 to 950 pounds, and optional accessories such as water

filters and ice baggers. All units feature patented

technology with environmentally friendly HFC refrigerants.



During 2000, Manitowoc Ice, Inc. launched its first ice

flaker, the Series 800 IB-ice machine, and expanded its

product line for the patented "QuietQube" ice-cube machines,

which feature CVD (cool vapor defrost) technology, operate

heat-free and are 75% quieter than non-CVD units. These new

"QuiteQube" machines are ideally suited for new restaurants,

which often feature more open designs, and for use with the

self-service beverage systems increasingly found in quick

service restaurants and convenience stores. Manitowoc Ice also

continues to benefit from its Q-Series ice machines. These

models set an industry standard for aesthetic design and

incorporate plastic and stainless steel components for added

durability and corrosion resistance.



The company is also a significant competitor in the market for

commercial walk-in and reach-in refrigerators and freezers.

Kolpak, McCall, and Diversified Refrigeration, Inc., acquired

in 1995, focus on commercial refrigeration products such as

walk-in and reach-in refrigerators/freezers, several types of

food preparation equipment, and private label residential

refrigerators and freezers.



SerVend International, acquired in 1997, offers ice/beverage

dispensers and post-mix dispensing valves for quick-service

restaurants, convenience stores, and the soft drink industry.

In 2000, SerVend broadened its market by introducing a line of

counter-electric beverage dispensers.



On February 17, 2000, the company acquired Beverage Equipment

Supply Company (BESCO), a leading wholesale distributor of

beverage dispensing equipment. BESCO has been integrated into

the Company's Manitowoc Beverage Systems (MBS) operation.

BESCO serves 14 states primarily in the Midwest, is located in

Holland, Ohio, and has a warehouse facility in Lombard,

Illinois. BESCO represents more than 50 different equipment

manufacturers with products ranging from beverage dispensing

equipment and systems to draft beer-dispensing systems.



On March 31, 2000, the company acquired Multiplex Company,

Inc. (Multiplex). Multiplex is headquartered in St. Louis,

Missouri where its production facility is located and has

operations in Frankfurt, Germany and Glasgow, U.K. Multiplex

manufactures soft drink and beer dispensing equipment as well

as water purification systems and supplies leading quick-

service restaurants, convenience stores, and movie theatres.

In addition, Multiplex designs and builds custom applications

to meet the needs of customers with requirements that cannot

be met by conventional dispensing equipment.



On April 7, 2000, the company acquired Harford Duracool, LLC

(Harford), a leading manufacturer of walk-in refrigerators and

freezers. Harford maintains a manufacturing facility in

Aberdeen, Maryland. Harford's primary distribution channels

are foodservice equipment dealers and commercial refrigeration

distributors. Harford's products range in size from 200 to

60,000 cubic feet. Harford also manufactures a line of

modular, temperature-controlled structures for other niche

markets.





On July 27, 2000, the Company acquired the remaining 31.3

percent of Hangzhou Manitowoc Wanhua Refrigeration Co., its

Chinese joint venture, from the company's partner, Hangzhou

Household Appliance Industrial Corporation. Manitowoc

Hangzhou Refrigeration manufactures the "QM" series ice

machines for Manitowoc and the Chinese market. The QM series

produces a lower capacity of ice per day. It was developed to

meet the needs of customers in overseas markets that do not

require the high daily outputs of the standard ice making

models. In addition, the operation serves Southeast Asia and

exports product to the Middle East, Europe, and North America.



On April 9, 1999, the Company completed the acquisition of

Kyees Aluminum, Inc., a leading supplier of cooling components

for the major suppliers of fountain soft-drink beverage

dispensers. Kyees is a technology leader in manufacturing

aluminum cold plates, a key component used to chill soft-drink

beverages in dispensing equipment.



On January 11, 1999, the Company completed its acquisition of

Purchasing Support Group (PSG), renamed Manitowoc Beverage

Sytems (MBS). MBS is a systems

integrator, with nationwide distribution of backroom equipment

and support system components. It serves the beverage needs of

restaurants, convenience stores and other outlets. MBS

operates in the Northeast and Atlantic Coast regions, as well

as in portions of Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia,

Nevada, and Texas. This acquisition has improved the

distribution of Manitowoc's beverage dispensing equipment and

opened new markets.



The Foodservice Equipment business segment sales are made from

the Company's inventory and sold worldwide through independent

wholesale distributors, chain accounts, and government

agencies. The distribution network now extends to 80

distributors in 70 countries within Western Europe, the Far

East, the Middle East, the Near East, Latin America, North

America, the Caribbean, and Africa. In 2000, the addition of

Multiplex has enabled the Company to increase sales of ice and

refrigerated foodservice equipment in Europe.



Since sales are made from the Company's inventory, orders are

generally filled within 24 to 48 hours. The backlog for

unfilled orders for Foodservice Equipment at December 31, 2000

and 1999 was not significant.





Cranes and Related Products

- -------------------------------------



The Crane segment consists of four business units that design

and manufacture a diversified line of crawler- and truck-

mounted lattice-boom cranes, hydraulically powered telescopic

boom trucks, rough-terrain forklifts, and material handling

equipment, which are sold under the "Manitowoc" brand name for

use by the energy, petroleum, chemical, construction, mining,

and other industries. Many of the Company's customers purchase

one crane together with several options to permit use of the

crane in various lifting applications and other operations.

Various crane models combined with available options have

lifting capacities ranging from approximately 10 to 1,400 U.S.

tons and excavating capacities ranging from 3 to 15 cubic

yards. The Company also specializes in crane rebuilding and

remanufacturing services, aftermarket replacement parts for

cranes and excavators and industrial repair and rebuilding

services for metal forming, scrapyard and recycling equipment,

which are sold under the "Femco" name.



In 2000, Manitowoc Cranes introduced the Model 999 lattice-

boom crane, which meets the international three-meter shipping

standard. Its lifting capacity is 275 tons and can be

transported on any major highway in Europe or North America.

The 999 was the most popular new crane introduction in the

company's history as more than 80 units were sold in the first

seven months on the market.



During 2000, Manitowoc Cranes continued to benefit from the

Model 21000, a 1,000-ton capacity crawler crane that features

the "Octa-trac" crawler system - four sets of dual crawlers

minimizing ground bearing pressure and simplifying

transportation. In addition to delivering exceptional lifting

capacity, the 21000 also provides superior high-reach

capability and can be trucked to a job site, assembled and

ready to work in just 20 hours. Also during 2000, Manitowoc

Cranes continued to expanded its product line by introducing

two MAX-ER attachments that enhance the lifting capacity of

the Model 2250 and 21000.



On January 14, 2000, the Company, through a wholly-owned

subsidiary, acquired certain assets of Pioneer Holdings LLC

(Pioneer), a manufacturer of hydraulic boom trucks, from its

parent company Mega Manufacturing. Pioneer produces five

models of boom trucks with varying lifting capacities sold

under the Pioneer brand name. Pioneer cranes feature an

innovative X-type outrigger system that provides 360-degree

stability and 500-degree rotation capability without any

reduction in lifting capacity.



Following the acquisition of Pioneer, the Company rebranded

and rationalized the three boom truck product lines, Manitex,

USTC, and Pioneer under the Manitowoc brand name. Manitowoc

now offers 48 different models of boom trucks, on four

different platforms.


Femco Machine Co., acquired in 1994, is a manufacturer of

parts for cranes, draglines, and other heavy equipment. Femco

is located in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania and Pompano Beach,

Florida.



Manitowoc Re-Manufacturing, located in Bauxite, Arkansas,

along with Femco, form the Aftermarket Group.

These companies rebuild and remanufacture used cranes,

including both Manitowoc and non-Manitowoc units, for owners

who want to add value to their existing cranes. The companies

also produce replacement parts for cranes and excavators and

perform industrial repair and rebuilding services for metal

forming scrapyard and recycling equipment. Femco's existing

South Florida operation is ideally positioned to serve the

large Latin American market where used the utilization of used

cranes is very prevalent.



The Company's cranes and related products are sold throughout

North America and foreign countries by independent

distributors, and by Company-owned sales subsidiaries located

in Mokena, Illinois and Northampton, England. Distributors

generally do not carry inventories of new cranes, except for

the smaller truck cranes. Most distributors maintain service

facilities and inventories of replacement parts. Company-

employed service representatives usually assist customers in

the initial set-up of new cranes.


The Company does not generally provide financing for either

its independent distributors or their customers; however,

dealers frequently assist customers in arranging financing and

may accept used cranes as partial payment on the sale of new

cranes.



See Note 14 to Consolidated Financial Statements on page 45 of

the 2000 Annual Report with respect to export sales, which is

incorporated herein by reference. Such sales are usually made

to the Company's foreign subsidiaries or independent

distributors, in addition to sales made to domestic customers

for foreign delivery. Foreign sales are made on letter-of-

credit or similar terms.



The year-end backlog of crane products includes orders, which

have been placed on a production schedule, and those orders,

which the Company has accepted and which are expected to be

shipped and billed during the next year. The backlog of

unfilled orders for cranes and related products at December

31, 2000 approximated $93.4 million, as compared with $136.0

million a year earlier. The decrease is primarily due to

reduced lead times and increased operations throughput as the

Company has implemented flexible manufacturing processes and

improved efficiencies. As a result, order rates are a better

indicator of business strength than traditional backlog

numbers.





Marine

- ---------



The Marine segment consists of four business units made up of

Bay Shipbuilding Co., Toledo Shiprepair Co., Cleveland

Shiprepair Co., and Marinette Marine Corporation. These

facilities dry-dock and service commercial vessels of all

sizes, including 1,000-foot super carriers, the largest

vessels sailing the Great Lakes, and construct commercial,

military and research vessels. The Marine segment's

capabilities include planned and emergency maintenance, vessel

inspections, five-year surveys, construction, conversions,

repowering, and retrofitting plus repair service for hulls,

turbines, boilers, propulsion systems and automated

cargo/ballasting systems. To reduce seasonality, the Marine

Group performs non-marine industrial repair during the summer

months.



On November 20, 2000, the Company purchased all of the issued

and outstanding shares of MMC Acquisition Co., the parent

of Marinette Marine Corporation. Marinette Marine, located in

Marinette, Wisconsin, operates one of the largest shipyards on

the U.S. Great Lakes. Marinette features complete in-house

capabilities for all shipbuilding disciplines and is currently

under contract to build a series of ocean-going buoy tenders

for the United States Coast Guard. The combination of

Marinette Marine with Manitowoc Marine Group creates the

largest and most-comprehensive shipbuilding and ship-repair

organization on the U.S. Great Lakes.



During 2000, the S/R New York (formerly named the Seneca),

built by Bay Shipbuilding, was brought into service. This 504

foot ocean-going tank barge, built for ExxonMobil, includes a

twin-hull and a 140,000-barrel capacity. The barge will haul

grade A refined petroleum products, including gasoline, jet

fuel, and distillates, to major metropolitan markets along the

Eastern Seaboard and Hudson River.



A 5,000-cubic-meter hopper dredge is being built for Great

Lakes Dredge & Dock, with anticipated delivery in the fall of

2001. This highly automated and self-propelled ship will

incorporate bottom dump doors, an innovation allowing rapid

unloading of dredged material. Designed to operate at service

speeds of 14 knots, the vessel can dredge at depths to 90

feet.



The year-end backlog for the Marine segment includes repair

and maintenance work presently scheduled which will be

completed in the next year. At December 31, 2000, the backlog

for the Marine segment approximated $33.4 million, compared to

$39.3 million one year ago. The project backlog for Marinette

Marine at December 31, 2000 was $166.7 million to be completed

over the next several years. Marinette's backlog does not

include options for additional vessels, yet to awarded.





Subsequent Event

- -----------------------



On March 4, 2001, Manitowoc submitted a binding offer to

acquire the Potain cranes subsidiary of Groupe Legris

Industries SA. Completion of the transaction is contingent

upon certain events, including receipt of applicable

regulatory approvals, completion of the notification and

consultation process with the applicable works' council (labor

union) and final acceptance of the offer by the seller. The

transaction is currently expected to be finalized by the end

of the second quarter of 2001.



Potain, headquartered in Lyon France, is a world leader in the

design, manufacture and supply of tower cranes for the

building and construction industry. Manitowoc believes that

Potain's share of the global tower crane market is

approximately 30%. Assuming the acquisition is completed,

Potain would be operated as part of Manitowoc's crane segment

and would create one of the world's leading producers of

lattice-boom crawler cranes, tower cranes, and boom trucks.

The acquisition would combine the systems, technology, and

applications expertise of these two industry leaders. In

addition, the acquisition would extend Manitowoc's crane-

manufacturing operations to a third continent while enhancing

the market penetration and distribution capabilities of both

organizations.





Raw Materials and Supplies

- ------------------------------------



The primary raw material used by the Company is structural and

rolled steel, which is purchased from various domestic

sources. The Company also purchases engines and electrical

equipment and other semi- and fully-processed materials. It

is the policy of the Company to maintain, wherever possible,

alternate sources of supply for its important materials and

parts. The Company maintains inventories of steel and other

purchased material. The Company has been successful in its

goal to maintain alternative sources of raw materials and

supplies, and therefore, is not dependent on a single source

for any particular raw material or supply.




Patents, Trademarks, Licenses

- ---------------------------------------



The Company owns a number of United States and foreign patents

pertaining to its crane and foodservice products, and has

presently pending applications for patents in the United

States and foreign countries. In addition, the Company has

various registered and unregistered trademarks and licenses,

which are of material importance to the Company's business.

While the Company believes its ownership of this intellectual

property is adequately protected in customary fashions under

applicable law, no single patent, trademark or license is

critical to the Company's overall business.





Seasonality

- --------------



Typically, the second quarter represents the Company's best

quarter in all of the business segments. In the Foodservice

Equipment segment, since the summer brings warmer weather,

there is an increase in the use of ice machines. As a result,

distributors build inventories during the second quarter for

the increased demand. In the Cranes and Related Products

segment, summer also represents the main construction season.

Customers require new machines, parts, and service in advance

of that season. With respect to the Marine segment, the Great

Lakes shipping industry's sailing season is normally May

through November. Thus, barring any emergency groundings, the

majority of repair and maintenance work is performed during

the winter months and the work is typically completed during

the first and second quarter of the year.





Competition

- ----------------



All of the Company's products are sold in highly competitive

markets. Competition is at all levels, including price,

service and product performance.



Within the Foodservice Equipment segment, there are several

manufacturers with whom the Company competes. The primary

competitors for ice machine and beverage dispensing equipment

include Scotsman Industries (tradename Scotsman and Crystal

Tips), Prospect Heights, Illinois; Welbilt Company (tradename

Ice-O-Matic), New Hyde Park, New York; and Hoshizaki America,

Inc. (tradename Hoshizaki), Peachtree City, Georgia. The

Company believes that it is the leading, low-cost, high

quality producer of ice machines in North America. Competitors

within the beverage dispenser/dispensing valves market include

IMI Cornelius, Anoka, Minnesota, and Lancer Corporation, San

Antonio, Texas. The Company is one of the leading suppliers

of fountain equipment and dispensing valves used by soft-drink

bottlers. The primary competitors for refrigeration products

include Beverage Air, Spartanburg, South Carolina; The

Delfield Company, Mt. Pleasant, Michigan; Traulsen & Company,

Inc., College Point, New York; True Food Service Company,

O'Fallon, Missouri; Master-Bilt, New Albany, Mississippi; Nor-

is the world leader in lifting capacities over 125 tons, and

represents over half of the United States lattice boom crawler

crane market.



The competitors within the boom truck crane market include

Terex Corporation, Westport, Connecticut, and Grove Crane,

Shady Grove, Pennsylvania. The Company believes that its

current output of boom truck cranes ranks second among its

competitors.



In the ship repair operation, the Company is one of two

operational shipyards on the Great Lakes capable of dry-

docking and servicing 1,000 foot Great Lakes bulk carriers;

the other is Erie Marine Enterprises, Erie, Pennsylvania.

There are two other shipyards on the Great Lakes, Fraser

Shipyards, Inc., Superior, Wisconsin, and H. Hansen

Industries, Toledo, Ohio, with whom the Company competes for

dry-docking and servicing smaller Great Lakes vessels. The

Company also competes with many smaller firms which perform

top side repair work during the winter lay-up period. In

addition, there are shipyards on the East, West and Gulf

Coasts capable of converting and reconstructing vessels of

sizes that can enter the Great Lakes through the St. Lawrence

Seaway and the Wellen Canal. There are also shipyards on the

inland rivers capable of servicing smaller, specialized

vessels which the Company is capable of servicing.



Within the Marine segment, there are several manufacturers

with whom Marinette Marine competes. The primary competitors

include Alabama Shipbuilding and Dry-dock, Mobile, Alabama;

Atlantic Marine, Jacksonville, Florida; Bender Ship Building,

Mobile, Alabama; Bollinger ShipBuilding, Lockport, Louisiana;

Halter Marine, Moss Point, Mississippi; and Swiftships,

For additional information regarding the company's

competition, see "Manitowoc at a Glance" on pages 6-7 of the

2000 Annual Report, which is incorporated herein by reference.





Employee Relations

- --------------------------



The Company employs approximately 4,405 persons, of which

approximately 820 are salaried employees. The number of

employees is consistent with the prior year. The Company has

labor agreements with 19 union locals. There have been no

work stoppages during the three years ended December 31, 2000.
