04.08.2011 Terex Enters Wood Business

Terex Corporation wholly-owned subsidiary Terex USA, LLC has entered the wood chipper business through the acquisition of Woodsman LLC, a Michigan-based manufacturer of wood processing equipment. The Woodsman product lines will be integrated into the materials processing segment of Terex, which is a major player in the crushing and screening industry globally. The business has a comprehensive line of hand fed chippers as well a portfolio of biomass chippers. The addition of Woodsman’s products provides a great opportunity to extend the capabilities of Terex Materials Processing into the adjacent businesses of wood processing and recycling.

The business will be showing its Terex Woodsman 440 biomass chipper, which is equipped with a 50 in. diameter by 45 in. (127 by 114 cm) wide full pocket cutting drum, at the upcoming ICUEE exhibition in Louisville, Ky., in October. A month later, the Terex Woodsman 730 will be exhibited at the Tree Care Show in Hartford, Conn., a compact hand fed machine for customers seeking a compact chipping solution.
