Terex Completes Acquisition of Fantuzzi and Noell Port Equipment

Terex Corporation, Westport, Conn., has completed the acquisition of the port equipment businesses of Fantuzzi Industries S.a.r.l and Noell Crane. The existing Terex reach stacker product line will be joined by the Fantuzzi product range that includes Noell branded straddle carriers, both Fantuzzi and Noell branded rail and rubber tired gantry cranes, mobile harbor cranes, ship-to-shore cranes, and reach stackers and forklift trucks designed to improve port productivity and throughput.

“We are quite pleased that Fantuzzi and Noell and their team members are now part of the Terex Cranes family,” said Rick Nichols, president, Terex Cranes. “Fantuzzi and Noell are unquestionably leaders in the design, manufacture and service of port equipment, and although the global economy is slow today, the longer term prospects for intermodal transportation remain very attractive and substantial in scope. This acquisition also helps diversify our cranes business, and expands the product offering of Terex Cranes to the port industry beyond our current stacker product line.”
