Terex Selects Zuken as Vendor of Choice for Electrical Design

19 November, 2009 – Munich, Germany and Westford, MA, USA –, Terex Corporation, a global manufacturer of construction and mining equipment, has named Zuken as its preferred supplier of electrical design software. The decision was based on a combination of E³.series technical functionality and Zuken’s global support network.

E³.series, Zuken’s software solution for the engineering of complex systems includes design tools for electro-mechanical, pneumatic, hydraulic, cabling and wiring harness applications. E³.series’ overall ease of use enables new users migrating from other systems to minimize ramp-up time.  E³.series will be adopted globally across Terex and will help integrate the company’s manufacturing processes to realize operational synergies.

Zuken offers a worldwide support profile that facilitates the roll out of this highly flexible, modular, electrical design software, providing a single common library, easy to use, enterprise-wide solution.  By providing global licensing, along with a worldwide product support and training program, Zuken was able to meet the diverse needs of this global company.

Dr. Suresh Natarajan, Global Director, Electrical Systems for Terex, states, "In addition to showing their technical superiority during the search, Zuken’s business structure will support our own internal efforts to become one Terex."
