Terramac has moved into its new headquarters in Sugar Grove, IL, just west of Chicago and after a few months it has also expanded its production capacity with a new assembly facility to deliver an increasing number of machines.
The growing call for the Terramac machines and increased support services offered to customers led to the need for more space to meet the demand.

“We have grown our product line and expanded our national dealer network so the timing was perfect to build out our new headquarters to house the larger staff. The request for the Terramac straight frame and rotating crawler carriers over the past twelve years has been phenomenal. The customization possibilities of a Terramac crawler carrier are unlimited to fulfill the customer’s unique requirements and now we can customize more of them right here.”
says Matt Slater, Vice President Business Development.
The new headquarters facility is more than double the size of the previous square footage that was located across multiple buildings. It is designed for increased efficiency and productivity, and accommodates all of the employees under one roof. The new space provides for expansion of the in-house crawler carrier customization services exclusively offered by Terramac.
In addition, the new headquarters is conveniently located off the IL Highway 88 and Route 47 intersection for easy access. Units are sold through a national dealer network, which offers easy-to-locate parts and service throughout the world. The units can be customized with support equipment to serve many industries including pipeline, utility, mining, environmental, forestry, general construction and more.
Following the opening of the new headquarters in Sugar Grove, Terramac has also expanded its production capacity to deliver an increasing number of machines for the North American and international markets with the unveiling of their new assembly facility located in St. Louis, Missouri.
“It’s an exciting time for Terramac! We took an existing older, shuttered 100,000 square foot complex located on eight acres in an industrial area of North St Louis and are returning it to manufacturing. We designed the facility for efficiency and productivity with the ability to quickly changeover from one model to another as demand necessitates.”
says Warner Fencl, Vice President Manufacturing and Process Improvement of CK Power Family of Companies, the parent company of Terramac.
The facility has more than 275 tons of overhead crane lift capacity, which handles any assembly requirement with ease and allows Terramac to meet the growing demand for its crawler carriers.
“We are excited about revitalizing the plant facility, as well as the neighboring area. Our plans to ultimately hire more than 100 employees over the next couple years drawing from the local workforce will help support our goals for the company and the community,”
says JJ Costello, VP of Business Development of CK Power Family of Companies.
“We work closely with our North American dealer network to engineer crawler carriers for many different industries and uses. With a variety of sizes, rotational capabilities, and extended frame options, the potential uses of Terramac crawler carriers are endless, and the new facility allows us to adjust production as needed,”
says Matt Slater, Vice President Business Development for Terramac.
“We have used Terramac crawler carriers in so many configurations for our customers. There have been times when keeping up with demand has been more challenging, especially with the nationwide shortages, so it is great to see Terramac taking control of their production. Terramac’s progressive approach will ensure we have access to the carriers we need to adequately equip our customers.”
affirms John L. Coughlin, President and CEO of Linder Industrial Machinery, who has been working with Terramac for more than six years and agrees with Slater.
