TEREX HITS 'RESET' Ron DeFeo talks dogs and bones, about 'renew, recommit and reset,' the $1.3 billion Bucyrus sale, Scania engines

摘要

Almost since the day Ronald M. DeFeo took over as president and chief operating officer in 1993, Terex Corp. has been known throughout the industry as a company always on the lookout for a good acquisition. And over the span of more than a decade, Terex parleyed that acquisitive philosophy into some 39 acquisitions since 1995 and a near-unbroken string of record sales and profits, zooming from revenues of $314 million in 1994 to $9.9 billion in 2008.
