Terex celebrates 25 years of investment with new Powerscreen HQ

FIRST Minister Michelle O’Neill did the honours of cutting the ribbons as Terex officially opened its new Powerscreen headquarters in Dungannon on Friday.

The construction of the new premises marks an investment of over £100 million since Terex entered the province in 1999, underscoring the company’s commitment to the region’s economy and its workforce of over 2000 team members employed locally.

Speaking following a tour of the new facility, First Minister O’Neill described the new headquarters as ‘really impressive’.

“It’s a physical demonstration of the success of Terex, and a welcome statement of their future ambition,” she said.

“Their growth on this site since the original Powerscreen days is a testament to entrepreneurial spirit and resilience. They have been instrumental in growing an engineering cluster here and have set the standard in terms of quality and product development and have been pioneers in research, development and innovation.”

The new headquarters for Powerscreen fosters collaboration, innovation, and sustainability. It features a new office space with an open plan layout and informal collaboration areas as well as a modern employee wellness centre.

The unveiling also represents the latest in a series of strategic investments by Terex to modernise its operations, such as the integration of robotic welding and automation systems to enhance efficiency and precision in manufacturing processes.

Terex has also prioritised the implementation of advanced technologies and fittings to enhance thermal efficiency and reduce energy consumption, as part of a global sustainability initiative to reduce the environmental impact of its operations.

Also announced at the opening ceremony, which was attended by representatives from educational, political, business and industry institutions in the area, was the launch of a new electrical apprenticeship programme.

The programme offers individuals an opportunity to gain hands-on experience within the industry while studying for an in-demand qualification to open doors to various career paths, including Electrical/Electronic Design Engineer, Electrical Service Technician, Control Panel Builder, and PLC Automation specialist.
