Terex Corp. has agreed to sell its India-based compact construction business, Terex Equipment Private Limited to Manitou. This marks an important step in execution of Terex’s strategy to focus its portfolio on those products which have significant presence in the market and has the potential to provide greatest returns for shareholders.
Terex Equipment Private Limited manufactures and sells backhoe-loaders, engages in the sale of wheel loaders and contract manufactures along with selling skid steer loaders. The sale, pursuant to customary closing conditions, is expected to be finalized in the first half of 2017.
