Powerscreen has manufactured mobile screening equipment since the 1960s in Dungannon, Northern Ireland from where it still manufactures and exports mobile crushing, screening and washing plant to international markets. In the 1990’s Powerscreen Group bought two well respected UK equipment manufacturing companies: Pegg & Son and Brown Lenox.
Pegg & Son manufactured textile and quarry equipment from as early as 1830 while Brown Lenox was established in 1836 to manufacture naval anchor chains and which from the 1880s made rock crushers. In 1997 these two companies merged to become BL-Pegson which along with Powerscreen in 1999 became two brands within the Terex Corporation.
BL-Pegson became the brand Terex Pegson in 2004 and in 2007 the Sales and Marketing functions of Terex Pegson and Powerscreen came together permitting their combined products and services to be united under the world-renowned Powerscreen brand from 2009, which in this year also earned the Queen's Award for International Trade.
Powerscreen, with its rich heritage of design and manufacturing excellence, has grown to become a leading force in the original equipment manufacturing (OEM) sector offering quality mobile crushing, screening and washing equipment built from years of expertise.
