More than 250 dealers and customers of Terex Pegson and Powerscreen, manufacturers of mobile crushing and screening plant and equipment for the mining, quarrying and recycling industries, attended the Americas Open Day, held in San Diego, Calif., Feb. 4 to 6.
The event featured a major conference for dealers, a separate parts conference, and an on-site demonstration of a range of Terex Pegson and Powerscreen crushers and screens, showcasing the machines’ adaptability for a wide variety of functions.
The conference also provided an opportunity for dealers to attend a series of expert-led workshops designed to maximize the customer experience of Terex Pegson and Powerscreen.
“Our Americas Open Day was an outstanding success and feedback from dealers and customers has been fantastic,” said Global Sales Director Pat Brian. “Economic conditions globally may be challenging, but Terex Pegson and Powerscreen are committed to enhancing the experience of all our customers, to reinforce our position as the world’s leader in mobile crushing plant and equipment for our key sectors and to continue to innovate as we have in the past. I have no doubt that the conference was an excellent way for us to stay connected with our most important asset, our customers.”
“Staging this event in our own backyard has been outstanding for our dealership,” stated Paul Campbell, president of Powerscreen California. “It isn’t often you get the chance to have this high profile type of event showcasing all of the new offerings with live demonstrations of the equipment. This was a golden opportunity to have our customers [some 70 in all] attend the show and witness first hand the commitment Terex Pegson and Powerscreen has to innovative product development, support and service.
“Our customers were overwhelmed to see the introduction of the Dual Power Green Waste machine being introduced first into California,” he added.
Rüediger Christophel, managing director of C. Christophel GmbH in Germany, travelled to the Americas Open Day with nine members of staff and 13 customers.
“We were excited about the product range and were particularly keen on the onsite demonstration and the opportunity to hear about future plans,” Christophel said. “I’m pleased to say that my customers were impressed by what they saw and my positive experience of Terex Pegson and Powerscreen has been reinforced.”
