Terex acquires Neuson Ecotec

Terex Materials Processing, a business segment of Terex Corp., Westport, Connecticut, has announced the acquisition of the assets related to the Environmental Technology product lines of Austria-based Neuson Ecotec GmbH. This acquisition marks further expansion of the Terex Environmental Equipment (TEE) business unit, closely following the purchase of the assets of Continental Biomass Industries (CBI), Newton, New Hampshire, in April, according to the company.

TEE, part of the Terex Materials Processing segment, has been serving the wood, biomass and recycling industries since 2011 and has already delivered meaningful growth. The acquisition of the Neuson Ecotec Environmental Technology products will add chipping, shredding, screening and composting products that will accelerate development of a global dealer network while adding a facility in Linz, Austria, that can support production requirements in continental Europe. Terex is not acquiring the forestry division of Neuson Ecotec GmbH, which will transition to Neuson Forest after closing.

The Neuson Ecotec products that Terex is acquiring will now be part of a global portfolio of distribution-oriented products that will soon be rebranded as Terex Ecotec. After combining these products with existing Terex products, products in development, and some of the products recently acquired from CBI, the company says the Terex Ecotec line will be among the most comprehensive in the industry. Terex will bring these products to market through a network of dealers and with the support of Terex resources and infrastructure around the world.

“The addition of the Terex Ecotec Environmental Technology product lines will add further depth and breadth to an already significant portfolio of products that are managed by TEE,” says Tony Devlin, TEE Worldwide Business Director. “We are excited to add these products to our portfolio and to welcome legacy Neuson Ecotec personnel to the Terex Environmental Equipment team.”
