Konecranes – acquisition of MHPS business to continue and Zoomlion pulls out buying Terex

On May 27, 2016, Zoomlion announced that is has decided to terminate the negotiation in relation to the proposed acquisition of Terex. Konecranes will continue to work towards completing the Acquisition in accordance with the Stock and Asset Purchase Agreement.
“There are a number of key points that define the rationale of this deal. This Acquisition will enhance our position as a focused and global leader in service and equipment in industrial lifting and port solutions. The complementary range of MHPS equipment will give us a complete product offering. The Acquisition will significantly expand our international presence to better compete in the global markets.

We will achieve critical scale in technology development and manufacturing operations. Of central importance is the fact that with MHPS we will have additional installed base for cranes. This, including the digitalization of our services, will offer broader opportunities to expand our service business and create earnings potential,” stated Panu Routila, President and CEO, Konecranes.

The Acquisition is subject to regulatory approvals and other closing conditions, including shareholder approval at a Konecranes Extraordinary General Meeting of shareholders, and is expected to close in early 2017.
