Terex Materials Processing buys out MDS International

Terex Materials Processing (MP) has purchased MDS International (MDS), a manufacturer of heavy duty and recycling trommels, apron feeders and conveyor systems, based in Co. Monaghan, Ireland.

MDS was founded in 1995 by Liam and Una Murray, with a vision to design and develop engineering solutions to industry. This acquisition supports Terex MP’s growth strategy to expand its offering in the crushing and screening and environmental industries, with products that complement the existing range.

Trommels from MDS are heavy duty trommels that will enable expansion into areas of the market that Terex MP does not currently serve.  Additionally, Terex MP expects strong commercial synergies from this deal, as several Terex MP distributors already carry the MDS line, while others will be new to Terex, offering the potential to develop new channel partner relationships.

MDS’ 34,000 square foot facility will be the first Terex location in the Republic of Ireland, which diversifies its footprint and provides access to a new labour pool.  Additionally, the facility is within a short driving distance to the Terex Dungannon and Omagh sites, providing ready access to Terex MP’s Northern Irish team and enabling close coordination with the resources at these facilities. 

MDS will remain a standalone brand along with Terex MP’s Crushing and Screening businesses including Powerscreen, Terex Finlay and EvoQuip. Terex MP will build on the momentum of MDS International’s long-standing reputation, continuing to develop the brand, its product portfolio and its distribution channels.
