Terex Corporation just announced it has signed a definitive agreement to sell its Terex® Tower and Rough Terrain Cranes businesses to Raimondi Cranes SpA, a global manufacturer of cranes based in Milan, Italy. Included in the transaction are the Terex Tower Cranes facility in Fontanafredda, Italy, Terex Rough Terrain Cranes facility in Crespellano, Italy, and the Terex North America Cranes service and support operation in Wilmington, North Carolina, United States. The sale, subject to government regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions, is expected to close in the second half of 2025.
“We are pleased to enter into this agreement with Raimondi, a manufacturer of cranes that is widely recognized for product innovation and customer service,” said Simon Meester, Terex President and Chief Executive Officer. “We believe the Tower and Rough Terrain cranes businesses will benefit by becoming part of an Italian-based, global specialty crane company.”
Mr. Meester concluded, “During the transition to Raimondi, our team is committed to servicing and supporting our customers seamlessly. Our cranes team members in Italy have made substantial contributions throughout their years of service to the Company, and we thank them and wish them continued success in the future. Terex is working closely with Raimondi to support the team and manage the change with transparency and respect for everyone involved.”
Luigi Maggioni, Group Chief Executive Officer, Raimondi Cranes, said: “This strategic acquisition represents a milestone in our journey to become a full-fledged global lifting conglomerate. By integrating Terex’s Tower and Rough Terrain cranes, we are creating synergies that enhance our ability to deliver a broader range of solutions, paving the way for sustainable, accelerated growth.”
For Terex, the divestiture aligns with the Company’s strategic focus to reduce cyclicality while accelerating growth and further leveraging synergies across its three business segments: Materials Processing, Aerials, and Environmental Solutions, which includes Environmental Solutions Group, acquired on October 8, 2024. The agreement with Raimondi does not include Franna pick and carry cranes, which Terex will continue to manufacture at its Eagle Farm facility in Brisbane, Australia, and the Terex Hosur facility in India.
