Terex Corporation has received European Commission approval on the proposed transactions for the sale of Terex’s Material Handling & Port Solutions business to Konecranes. The European Commission approval is conditioned on a commitment by Konecranes to divest their Stahl CraneSystems business. Konecranes has reported that it will begin this divestiture process immediately.
The proposed transactions received early termination of the Hart-Scott-Rodino premerger waiting period by the U.S. Department of Justice.
“The clearances granted by both the European Commission and U.S. antitrust regulators are an important step towards the completion of the planned divestiture of our MHPS segmen. This also advances our effort to focus our organization on three business segments and simplify our operating structure,” said John L. Garrison, chief executive officer of Terex.
Konecranes and Terex continue to work closely with the other relevant competition authorities to obtain the necessary regulatory approvals. Completion of the sale of MHPS is expected to occur in early 2017 as planned.
