With more than 300 End users and Dealers present from China, Australasia, Russia and CIS states, Africa, the Middle East, Europe and the Americas, this truly was an international affair. In total 13 different models were demonstrated and previewed in both quarry and recycling applications at Jim Jamieson’s, Ardlethen facility. The highlight of the demonstration was a single plant configuration consisting of 8 different models, featuring new Terex Finlay products introduced to date in 2013 and a number of new models that will be launched later in the year. Guests had the opportunity to view all the machines working and then inspect them close up with,  with Terex Finlay staff on hand to explain the new product developments features and benefits.
