Terex Corporation Completes Sale of Crane Businesses
In a significant move aimed at enhancing its strategic focus, Terex Corporation (NYSE: TEX) announced the completion of the sale of its Tower and Rough Terrain Cranes businesses to Raimondi Cranes SpA, a renowned global crane manufacturer based in Milan, Italy.
The divestiture encompasses the manufacturing operations and facilities located in Fontanafredda and Crespellano, Italy, along with the Terex North America Cranes service and support facility in Wilmington, North Carolina. Notably, the transaction does not include Terex's Franna® pick and carry cranes business, which operates out of Australia.
Simon Meester, the President and CEO of Terex, stated, "For Terex, this move aligns with our strategic focus on reducing cyclicality and accelerating the Company's growth. At the same time, we believe these Italian cranes businesses will strategically benefit from becoming part of Raimondi, a Milan-based lifting conglomerate that is a leader in the construction and heavy lifting sectors. We thank our cranes team members for their contributions to Terex and the industry, and we wish them great success in the years ahead."
