  • CREATING VALUE IN SPECIALIST VEHICLE MARKETS


    New developments are constantly taking place in the world of transport and logistics, from distribution processes to driveline technology. Businesses and the public sector are constantly looking for opportunities to make their transport, distribution, waste collection or warehousing as efficient and optimal as possible.

    Terberg wants to offer solutions to maximize the availability of vehicles, improve efficiency and prevent decapitalization. This allows our customers to keep their transport activities and waste collection operational and up-to-date with optimal investments.

    We strive to:
    • Offer customers in specialist markets high-quality products with a low Total Cost of Ownership
    • Supporting the entrepreneurial spirit of the operating companies and helping them to expand into new markets and products
    • Offering employees rewarding careers
    • Ensuring the continuity of Terberg as a family business

     

     

    Godfried Terberg, Chairman of the Board

  • In 1869 Johannes Bernardus Terberg set up as a blacksmith in Benschop, near Utrecht in the Netherlands. Early 1900's Terberg was selling bicycles, repairing cars and supplying spare parts.

    After the second World War the company started modifying American army trucks for civilian use and opened garages.

    In the 1970s Terberg set up a leasing division and truck and vehicle modification companies. Terberg Benschop delivered its first terminal tractor to the port of Rotterdam in 1973.

    From that period through to the present, the Royal Terberg Group established international subsidiaries and built up a worldwide network of distributors in several specialist vehicles markets.

     

     

  • Today Terberg counts four divisions:

    • Terberg Special Vehicles is a producer of robust and intelligent shunting vehicles for ports, distribution centres, heavy industry, shunting yards and airports.
    • Terberg Environmental is a producer of efficient and reliable vehicles and vehicle systems for the waste management and recycling industry.
    • Terberg Kinglifter is a producer of robust truck mounted forklifts.
    • Terberg Techniek specialises in customer focused vehicle modifications and solutions.
