WESTPORT, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jun. 12, 2012-- Terex Corporation (NYSE: TEX) is introducing Terex Port Solutions at TOC in Antwerp. As part of the Terex Material Handling and Port Solutions segment of the company, this group will unite Terex and Gottwald Port Technology as a single source for serving customers operating in the port business. Both are global leaders in the port equipment industry and are renowned for world-class quality, innovation and service. As part of this transition to a cohesive market vision, Gottwald Port Technology products will be branded Terex® Gottwald.
"Both Terex and Gottwald are well recognized as significant suppliers to the port industry, and we can best serve customers as a unified organization that is committed to a single purpose and identity," says Klaus Peter Hoffmann, Leader of Terex Port Solutions. "By moving forward together, we believe Terex Port Solutions will offer more innovative products and services that aim to provide the highest return on investment, allowing our customers to be more profitable."
The Terex Port Solutions portfolio includes several familiar and respected product lines including the former Noell, Fantuzzi, PPM and Reggiane brands alongside the extensive portfolio of Gottwald products.
