Terex expands environmental equipment product lines

The company has acquired Continental Biomass Industries and Neuson Ecotec to add to its biomass equipment lines.


Terex, Dungannon, Northern Ireland, now offers its environmental equipment customers two distinct product line brands—Continental Biomass Industries (CBI), a Terex brand based in Newton, New Hampshire, and Terex Ecotec. Forestry, construction, biomass, waste, recycling and composting professionals now can choose from a line of chippers, grinders, shredders, screens, waste handlers, windrow turners and stationary systems from one company.

“As recently as two years ago, the Terex environmental portfolio consisted simply of biomass equipment sold predominantly in North America,” says Tony Devlin, director of Terex Environmental Equipment (TEE). “Through the strategic line acquisitions of CBI and Neuson Ecotec Environmental Technology [headquartered in Linz, Austria] internal product development, and customer interaction, Terex now offers a broad range of environmental equipment marketed globally under two strong brands for our processing customers.”

For more than 25 years, CBI has worked in the biomass processing industry through mobile and custom engineered stationary solutions. The extensive CBI product line includes stationary and portable horizontal grinders, drum chippers, flail debarkers, disc chippers and screens. Additionally, customized stationary recycling systems can be configured using CBI equipment to meet specific processing needs.

Neuson Ecotec products include the TIM shredders and trommels and Sandberger compost turners. Today, the Terex Ecotec brand expands the overall Terex environmental product portfolio with chipping, shredding, screening and composting equipment. The full Terex Ecotec product line includes slow and medium speed shredders, biomass chippers, horizontal grinders, trommel and recycling screens, waste handlers and windrow turners.

“This brand strategy gives Terex two strong brands of well-known and reliable equipment to meet virtually any environmental processing need,” comments Elaine Donaghy, marketing manager. “Depending on the market and how to best serve the customer, we will employ a mixed sales channel strategy that includes both distributors and direct sales.”
