Eric Kuimjian brings more than 20 years’ experience to Terex and will play a key part in further expanding the Coventry facility’s range of backhoe loaders, site dumpers and construction rollers.
As well as bringing the latest technologies to the Terex equipment portfolio, Mr Kuimjian will also be responsible for introducing the latest energy-efficient engines and low-carbon technologies, as part of the company’s global emissions-reduction programme.

The portfolio is recognized around the world for delivering strong returns and performance. Joining the team at this time is really exciting and offers a chance to develop the range and the engineering team to keep pace with the challenges and opportunities ahead.
‘My key priorities in the first few months will be to drive innovation throughout the Terex range; bringing next-generation solutions and user-friendly equipment to hire firms, owner-operators and construction companies worldwide. Going forward, I plan to look at ways to enhance performance and user experience whilst ensuring that our entire range meets global emissions requirements.’
Terex Construction’s latest appointment comes as part of continued recent successes.
