Terex Corporation and REV Group announced that they have entered into a definitive merger agreement to merge in a stock and cash transaction to form a leading specialty equipment manufacturer.
The merger will create a diversified leader in emergency, waste, utilities, environmental and materials processing equipment with attractive end markets characterized by low cyclicality, resilient demand and long-term growth profiles. With a substantial U.S. manufacturing footprint, the combined organization will be well-positioned to benefit from domestic demand growth.
Combining the complementary portfolios will unlock significant value-creating synergies totalling $75 million of run-rate value in 2028 with approximately 50% achieved 12 months after closing. Both Terex and REV Group have demonstrated their ability to successfully execute large integrations and deliver expected synergy value.
Terex also announced that it will initiate a process to exit its Aerials segment, including the assessment of a potential sale or spin-off.
Upon closing of the merger, Terex CEO Simon Meester will serve as president and chief executive officer of the combined company, supported by a proven management team that reflects the strengths and capabilities of both organizations.
Meester commented: “This transaction represents a transformative step for both companies. By combining our complementary portfolios and leveraging our collective strengths, we are creating a large-scale, diversified industrial leader well-positioned to capitalize on long-term secular growth trends. The transaction will unlock significant value for both Terex and REV Group shareholders and creates exciting opportunities for our team members and customers by strengthening our ability to invest in the combined business, innovate and deliver quality solutions.”
Mark Skonieczny, chief executive officer of REV Group, commented: “Joining forces with Terex is a natural evolution of our strategy of building a stronger, more profitable and scaled company by bringing together two highly respected organizations with shared values and a commitment to innovation, operational excellence and customer success. We are beginning an exciting new chapter that will generate meaningful value for our shareholders, customers and employees.”

Merger Agreement
Under the terms of the agreement, which has been unanimously approved by the boards of directors of both companies, REV Group shareholders will receive, for each REV Group share, 0.9809 of a share of the combined company and $8.71 in cash ($425 million in total).

The exchange ratio and the closing share prices for Terex and REV Group as of October 28, 2025 represent an implied total enterprise value of the combined company of approximately $9 billion. Excluding Aerials and including $75 million of synergies, it is estimated that the combined company would have an even stronger pro forma Adjusted EBITDA margin of approximately 14% for 2025.
