“Our marketplace remains challenging,” commented Ron DeFeo, Terex Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “We had another good performance in our Aerial Work Platforms (AWP) business which delivered year over year improvement in profitability in the third quarter as raised productivity and lower material cost more than offset lower sales, mainly in the North American telehandler product category. The Materials Processing (MP) business also had a solid quarter, expanding operating margins on relatively flat sales. The Cranes and Construction businesses continue to experience relatively soft market conditions overall, with customers remaining cautious with their equipment purchasing patterns. The Material Handling and Port Solutions (MHPS) business saw declines driven by a decrease in port automation sales.”

Terex Corporation operates as a lifting and material handling solutions company. Its Aerial Work Platforms segment designs, manufactures, services, and markets aerial work platform equipment, telehandlers, and light towers, in addition to related components and replacement parts under Terex and Genie names.
