Terex Material Handling North America Facility Demonstrates Commitment to Safety, Quality and the Environment

Cleveland, June 28, 2013. Terex Material Handling today announced that its Cleveland, Ohio facility
has been awarded recertification in ISO 9001 and 14001, and certification in OHSAS 18001 by Global Group for outstanding commitment to safety, consistent quality and environmental management.


 “Continuous improvement is one of our core values as we produce our Demag brand of Overhead Cranes, Rope Hoists, Chain Hoists, Geared Motors and Enclosed Tracks products. These certifications demonstrate that Terex Material Handling North America has a deep commitment to keeping our team members safe, while successfully servicing our customers, and protecting the environment,” said John Paxton, Vice President and General Manager of Terex Material Handling North America. 

To be recertified in ISO 9001, a company needs to demonstrate its ability to consistently provide product quality that meets customer requirements, to enhance customer satisfaction and to continuously improve through the effective application of their processes. 

To be recertified in ISO 14001, a facility must monitor its usage of hazardous chemicals, minimize harmful effects on the environment caused by its activities and continually improve its green performance. 

To receive OHSAS 18001 certification, a company must demonstrate its focus on occupational safety through its ability to minimize accident and health risks of team members, customers and visitors. 

“We are proud of these certifications and I thank the entire team for their great commitment to  quality, safety and environmental management. The recertifications of ISO 9001 and 14011 demonstrate our long term commitment to continually improving our business.” said John Paxton.
