The aim is to fully implement the final plans by mid 2017, the move comes on the back of the loss of the old PPM plant in Monceau les Mines which currently manufactures Terex All Terrain cranes under 100 tonnes. The plant has been included in the sale of the Port and Material Handling division to Konecranes which is expected to complete at the end of the year. The crane production has been moved to other Terex plants.
