On July 22, city officials and area business leaders visited Terex Utilities to recognise the company and its team members for their contributions to the local and national economy.
Terex Utilities was the 13th stop on the Association of Equipment Manufacturers’ (AEM) manufacturing express mobile road tour which will visit 80 equipment manufacturers in 20 states.
“AEM’s Manufacturing Express highlights the innovative technologies, processes, people, and products revolutionizing American off-highway equipment manufacturing and the importance of this industry to the American way of life,” said Megan Tanel, president of AEM.
Terex Utilities’ selection for the AEM Manufacturing Express tour comes after Terex’s receipt of AEM’s Gold Award for Advocacy in 2023. This prestigious accolade is a testament to the company’s commitment to the grassroots advocacy program, I Make America.
“Utilities, utility contractors, and tree care companies use our equipment to help build and maintain the electric infrastructure across North America and certain parts of the world,” said Joe Caywood, director of commercial operations for Terex Utilities. “Our new brand promise of ‘BUILT. DIFFERENT.’ exemplifies how our equipment is ‘built reliable’ as customers continue to tell us we build the best in the industry. This is all due to our team members’ innovation, leadership, and engagement in delivering solutions to our customers.”
“Today we celebrate the team members across South Dakota who are responsible for building our digger derricks and bucket trucks right here in the United States, and the hundreds of technicians employed by Terex Equipment Services at 21 service centers around the country who provide crucial maintenance and inspection for construction and utility equipment,” said Eric Kluver, Terex Utilities vice president and general manager. “In addition, we are proud to partner with dozens of suppliers from our home state who provide parts and services that are critical to our operations.”
