Terex announce new West Midlands jobs

Increased global demand driving continued growth and investment in staff and production facilities

FOLLOWING 12 months of continued sales success, global construction solutions providers Terex have announced the creation of 50 new jobs at their manufacturing site in Coventry.

The machinery manufacturer, which employs 500 staff locally and exports to more than 60 countries worldwide, is expanding its team to maximize production capacity and meet rising demand for its innovative range of construction equipment.

As well as boosting staffing numbers, Terex plan to invest significantly in their production facilities, as part of continued efforts to progress technologies and develop new machinery manufacturing processes.

‘The expansion of our team at Coventry is very exciting news, both for the local economy and for the Terex group,’ commented Neal Nowick, general manager of Terex Coventry.

‘With a number of new product lines and strong economic recovery, we’ve seen sales rise dramatically over the past 12 months.

‘As such, we made the decision to invest in both our site and team, which will not only help to increase production capacity in line with rising global demand, but also ensure machinery production remains firmly in the UK.

‘Over the next few years, we plan to launch a number of new and improved products to deliver customer-driven solutions to the global market.’
