History

The history of Terberg begins in 1869, when Johannes Bernardus Terberg set up a blacksmith's forge in the village of Benschop, near Utrecht in the Netherlands, and his work was continued by later generations. In 1949 the business started converting trucks obtained from the American army for use in the construction industry, and later began building complete vehicles. In 1966 it delivered the first Terberg 6x6 dump truck, the SF1200 based on a Terberg chassis; for many years Terberg dumpers were widely used on construction projects in the Netherlands. In 1972 the first Terberg trucks were exported to customers in Western Europe and the Middle East. In 1973 the first Terberg Terminal Tractor was delivered to a customer in the Port of Rotterdam. In 1975 Terberg Machines Environmental Equipment was established, followed by Terberg Leasing in 1984. Production of the first type of environmental equipment loading system started in 1988. Terberg Matec UK was established in 1990 and Terberg Matec France in 1996. Under Terberg Special Vehicles, Terberg DTS UK was established in 2000, Terberg Nordlift GmbH in 2006, Terberg Kinglifter Truck Mounted Forklifts and Terberg Middle East in 2008, and Terberg Tractors Americas in Miami, Florida in 2014. In 2016 Terberg Group and RosRoca Group merged. In 2018 Manuport Italy was acquired. In 2019 Terberg Group celebrated 150 years and received a Royal Warrant from the King of the Netherlands.
