The deal brings a Belgian family-founded maker of mobile crushers and screens into Terex Materials Processing, with closing expected in the fourth quarter of 2026.
Consolidation in mobile crushing and screening has taken another step. Terex Corporation has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Keestrack, the Belgian manufacturer of mobile crushing, screening and related equipment for the aggregates, recycling, construction and demolition industries. Financial terms were not disclosed.
The most telling detail is what will not change. After completion, Keestrack will continue to operate as an independent brand within the Terex Materials Processing portfolio.
Who Keestrack is
Founded in Belgium in 1988, Keestrack has grown into a supplier serving customers in more than 65 countries through a network of over 70 distributors. Its products sit at the heart of the mobile processing market that quarries, recyclers and demolition contractors rely on to turn material on site into saleable aggregates.
What Terex gets
For Terex, the acquisition expands the crushing and screening portfolio of its Materials Processing business and adds manufacturing and distribution capabilities.
“Keestrack is a complementary addition to our aggregates portfolio, with established products, manufacturing capabilities and distribution. We look forward to working with the Keestrack team following completion of the transaction.”
Said Pat Brian, Vice President, Terex Aggregates.
The choice of the word “complementary” matters. Terex Materials Processing already owns established mobile crushing and screening brands, so the value lies in additional product lines, production capacity and a distributor network that reaches markets where Terex is not necessarily the dealer of choice.
Continuity at the top
The Hoogendoorn family, which founded Keestrack, stays involved. Peter and Frederik Hoogendoorn will continue in leadership roles after completion, while Kees and Annet Hoogendoorn will support the business during a transition period.
“Terex Materials Processing provides a strong platform for Keestrack’s next phase. Its approach allows Keestrack to maintain its brand and customer focus while gaining access to additional resources and capabilities.”
Said Kees Hoogendoorn, Co-Founder and President of Keestrack Group.
What it means for dealers and customers
For Keestrack customers, the immediate message is continuity. The company will operate independently until the deal closes, and the brand is set to stay afterwards. For distributors, the questions will come later: how product ranges are positioned against Terex’s existing brands, and how overlapping territories are handled.
For contractors and quarry operators, a larger parent can mean deeper parts and service support over time, provided the brand’s identity and customer focus survive the integration, which is exactly what both sides say they intend.
Next steps
The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2026, subject to customary regulatory approvals and closing conditions.
