Terex Bids $USD1.3bil for Demag

Terex, the U.S. heavy-equipment manufacturer, has made an $US1.31 billion takeover offer Demag Cranes.

Terex, headquartered in Connecticut, want to expand its base in harbour cranes. If successful, the takeover would be the material-handling industry’s largest in at least a decade with a combined sales of $US5.8bil (2010). They are the latest suitor to pursue Demag, which turned down an offer in February from Finland’s Konecranes.
