Terex Material Handling Welcomes New Leader

With effect from March 16, Susanna Schneeberger leads the Terex Material Handling business group. She follows Steve Filipov, who is responsible for the entire Terex Material Handling & Port Solutions segment and was leading the unit on an interim basis.

Steve Filipov said: “We are very happy to have found an outstanding leader in Mrs Schneeberger. She brings strong commercial and business strategy expertise to Terex and a track record of profitably growing global businesses.”

Schneeberger said: “Terex is a great company and Demag is a very well-known global brand in which I see a lot of potential which I want to continue to develop based on its current strengths and success. The global footprint, the strong and innovative product portfolio and the excellent service offering were further aspects that were crucial to me.”
