E-Crane Worldwide is proud to be a part of a large Belgian Trade Mission, presided over by Her Royal Highness Princess Astrid, in Indonesia from March 12 – 19.

Belgium is the fifth-largest investor from the European Union (EU) in the Indonesian economy.

E-Crane’s participation underlines E-Crane’s strong ties in the country and its commitment to bring superior bulk material handling solutions to the Indonesian and Asian marketplace.
