In addition to US, South American and Canadian based visitors there was also an international flavour with customers and dealers in attendance from Ireland and Russia.
The event and product demonstration were hosted by Martin Marrietta, Medina Quarry, just outside San Antonio, and saw Terex Finlay unveil three new machines at the event.The I-140 impact crusher; C-1540 direct drive cone crusher, and 674 inclined screener were the first production models to reach American shores.
The onsite demonstrations featured eight Terex Finlay machines in three working demonstration zones and one machine on static display.
The first demonstration featured the new I-140 impact crusher feeding into the mammoth 893 heavy duty forward facing screen; demonstration 2 (the headline act) saw the J-1170 jaw crusher; new C-1540 cone crusher and new 674 inclined screen in action, while demonstration 3 featured the mid-sized 873 heavy-duty forward facing screen.
Keith McCann, Americas Sales Director, said: “It was a huge pleasure to welcome so many customers to yet another successful Terex Finlay Americas open day.
“Our new product developments this calendar year have been unprecedented. We place a lot of emphasis on listening to what our customers tell us they want and need from their equipment day in day out and judging by the feedback that we have received on the new product launches we are definitely on the right track with our new product development initiatives.
“To our hosts, Martin Marietta, Medina, we say thank you so much. Working with you was a pleasure from start to finish, and we feel so honoured to have had access to such a great site.”
