Terex Agrees To Sell Mining Business To Bucyrus

Terex Corporation has announced that it has signed a definitive agreement to sell its mining business to Bucyrus International Inc. for $1.3 billion in cash.


According to Terex, the products to be divested by Terex in the transaction include hydraulic mining excavators, electric drive mining trucks, track and rotary blasthole drills, and the highwall miner, as well as the related parts and aftermarket service businesses, including the company-owned distribution locations. The transaction, which is subject to customary regulatory approvals, is expected to close in the first quarter of 2010.

“This transaction accelerates the transformation of Terex Corporation as we move from a Construction and Mining Equipment Company to a Machinery and Industrial Products business,” said Ronald M. DeFeo, Terex Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Going forward, we will focus on products and services where we can maintain and build superior customer propositions with high returns on capital for our owners. The current environment plus this transaction provide an excellent opportunity to create value. We plan to execute the changes needed to make this happen.”
