History of Terex Corporation

Terex Corporation is the third largest producer of mining and construction equipment in the world, and produces its extensive array of products in 50 factories in North America, Europe, Asia and Australia. These are marketed in more than 100 countries across the globe.

All the products supplied by Terex Africa are manufactured by this global corporation, which has throughout its long history developed a superb track record, and is known worldwide for the sheer breadth of its range of high quality and innovative capital equipment.

Terex is focused on delivering products that are reliable and cost-effective and producing equipment that improves its customers' return on invested capital.

Terex has expanded dramatically in recent years, primarily through a series of acquisitions designed to expand the product offering, improve geographic coverage and deliver value for Terex customers.

EQSTRA Holdings

Terex Africa is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Eqstra Group which, until recently, was the construction, mining, indus­trial equipment and vehicle leas­ing division of our parent company, Imperial Hold­ings.

Following the unbundling of the Imperial Group, Eqstra was listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange on 12 May 2008.

Eqstra is South Africa's largest diversified value-added asset provision company, which targets the fast-growing areas of commerce, infrastructure, construction and mining.

Its well-established Passenger and Commercial divisions have been active in the full maintenance leasing of passenger vehicles for 27 years, while its Industrial Equipment Division – a market leader in the forklift and warehouse material handling sector – has been in operation for 25 years.

Eqstra's focus on adding value to the assets it distributes is a key factor in its success. The company uses its detailed knowledge and understanding of its clients' requirements to benefit their businesses. Eqstra's philosophy of ‘Partnering for Performance’ focuses on the importance of collaboration and participation with customers.

With the backing of Eqstra, Terex Africa operates as a one-stop shop for the capital equipment buyer in Southern Africa. No matter what a client's requirements, with its wide range of robust and reliable mining, construction, cranes and roadbuilding equipment, Terex Africa offers all the tools that are needed from one reliable source.
