Marco, a manufacturer of bulk material handling conveyors and the latest brand to join the Terex MP portfolio of materials processing products, welcomed close to 60 Terex distributors and team members to their facility in Missouri on Dec. 5. The North American-based distributors were invited to learn about Marco’s history, the Mount Vernon manufacturing facility, and about distribution opportunities.
The event commenced with Steven Aiken, business line director for Terex Conveying Systems, outlining Marco’s history, its current state and reasons why Terex decided to purchase the brand.
Trevor Park, general manager for the Marco facility, provided an overview of the current product range and unveiled the brand’s ambitious plans, including a significant expansion of the manufacturing facility. Representatives from Terex Financial Services were also available to explain their role in assisting Terex distributors with the buying and selling of equipment. Finally, attendees took part in an open discussion to better understand how Marco could fit into their current product lines.
Post-presentation, distributors were given an exclusive opportunity to tour Terex Mount Vernon, Marco’s sprawling manufacturing facility. Encompassing an impressive 100,000 sq. ft., the facility stood as a testament to Marco’s commitment to precision engineering. Attendees had the unique chance to witness first-hand the meticulous processes involved in crafting Marco’s top-of-the-line conveying products.
Aiken explained, “We have ambitious plans for the Terex Mount Vernon site. A facility of this size with plenty of room for expansion gives us a real opportunity to increase our production capacity for conveyors in North America. Terex purchased Marco and the Mount Vernon factory in April 2023 so while it is early days, we have made great progress in that time. We’re currently in the process of modernizing the facility and putting processes in place to bring Terex Mount Vernon up to the standards we expect from all Terex facilities.”
The Marco Introduction Day proved to be an invaluable experience for all participants, providing key insights into the brand’s future trajectory and the exciting developments underway at the Mount Vernon manufacturing facility. Distributors left with a deepened understanding of the opportunities available for them in promoting Marco’s innovative solutions throughout North America.
