TEREX FINLAY

OPEN DAY

On 15th and 16th June Finlay Group was delighted to participate in the Terex Finlay open days which took place
at Alex Brewster & Sons, Craigpark Quarry in Edinburgh. This was a significant event that attracted several
hundred visitors from the UK and Europe over the 2 days. The attendance from Finlay Group customers was
fantastic with over 60 taking the time to travel to Edinburgh from across the Finlay Plant territories in England
and Wales. We would like to thank each and every one of those customers for joining us and for the subsequent
feedback we received about the event.
It was a busy and intensive programme with customers arriving on site for a series of product demonstrations
on day 1. A total of 21 crushing, screening and conveying models were shown – many of which were working in
quarrying and recycling applications, including 7 brand new models. New machines that were showcased included
the J-1170 (direct drive) jaw crusher, J-1160 jaw crusher, J-120RS impact crusher, TC-80 and TC-100 conveyors, a
high level stacker and a 694 3-deck inclined screen.
Throughout the afternoon the full range of Terex Finlay machines were put through their paces including the 883+
Spaleck. This unique machine is the only, all-in-one mobile solution available for the processing and separation of
recycling materials such as incineration slag, shredder light and heavy fraction, scrap metal, electronic scrap, C&D,
C&I, bulky waste, compost, plastic fractions, biomass, topsoil etc. A static model was also displayed for customers
interested in a closer look.
Following the site visit, evening entertainment was laid on at the magnificent Edinburgh Castle which offered
spectacular views over the city on arrival for welcome drinks and traditional Scottish canapes and on Friday
morning there were further, optional demonstrations and displays for customers wishing to take a more
in-depth inspection of the kit.
Dave Statham, MD for the Finlay Group, was exceptionally pleased with the success of the event;

“ Terex Finlay hosted a superb two days and we have

had very very good feedback from our customers

and prospects. We’ve got some serious enquiries

as a result of this open day and it’s something that
customers would like us to do more regularly,
”
so we will keep that in mind for next year.
