Tim Ford of Terex to Chair ICUEE 2015 | Industry News

Tim Ford, president of Terex Cranes for Terex Corporation, Westport, Conn., has been named chair of ICUEE 2015 - The Demo Expo.

Ford oversees the show’s management committee, a cross-section of utility construction leaders who direct show planning to ensure the show remains relevant for all market segments.

The biennial ICUEE (International Construction & Utility Equipment Exposition) will be held September 29 – October 1, 2015, at the Kentucky Exposition Center in Louisville, Ky.

ICUEE is the largest event in North America for utilities and utility contractors seeking the latest product innovations and best practices for construction and rehabilitation projects.

The show is known as The Demo Expo for its many hands-on working equipment demonstrations. The 2013 ICUEE ranked second among all trade shows in the U.S. for the year (at more than 1.17 million net sq. ft.), in the annual “top trade shows” list of the Trade Show News Network online media resource.

“Our last ICUEE was one of the best and most comprehensive in its 50-year history, and exhibitors and attendees will find even more industry-focused opportunities to connect with each other at the 2015 event. ICUEE’s continued success is the result of expanded strategic action planning to best serve longtime as well as new-to-show exhibitors, attendees, and all industry stakeholders,” stated Ford.

Ford was named president of Terex Cranes in January 2013.  He had previously served as president of the Terex Aerial Work Platforms division since October of 2006.  Before joining Terex, Ford was executive vice president of The Toro Company from 2001 through 2006. Prior to Toro, he was vice president and general manager of Honeywell International’s Home and Building Control North American operations for more than three years.  Ford also had12 years of experience with General Electric.
