[edit] History
Terex was formerly a division of General Motors. The plant was established in Hudson, Ohio (on land then part of Hudson Township) in 1957. At first, it was called General Motors Euclid Division. The plant helped the township grow. A bypass connecting Ohio State Route 303 to Ohio State Route 91 was built and named Terex Road. The plant closed in the late 1980s.
Today, the building is used for office and warehouse space. Jo-Ann Stores is headquartered here. It owns most of the building and is its largest tenant [1]. A Regal Cinemas, built in 1994, is located on the southwest corner of the property.
[edit] Purchases
In 2002 Terex bought part of the German Demag company in Zweibrücken, now known as Terex-Demag. In late 2003, Terex purchased a controlling interest in Tatra [2].
