What Terberg Matec UK does

Terberg Matec UK, established in 1989 by Godfried Terberg and now a trading division of Dennis Eagle Ltd within the family-owned Royal Terberg Group, manufactures specialised recycling vehicles and bin-lifting systems for the UK and Irish waste and recycling industry. Its product portfolio spans automated side-loading bin lifts (Kerbloader, Kerbsider), rear-loading lifts (Toploader), specialist recycling bodies (PBUV, TLL360/1280), full refuse collection vehicle chassis and bodies (Olympus, Olympus Midi, Elite+, Elite+ Narrow, Twin Pack), compact urban collectors (ORUS), and the eCollect all-electric RCV range (available in 26-tonne and 18-tonne 4x2 configurations). Manufacturing is concentrated at the Worksop, Nottinghamshire facility for recycling bodies and the Warwick facility for vehicle assembly, with production and service operations also in Warrington, Cheshire.

The business monetises through three principal revenue streams: new vehicle sales to UK local authorities and commercial waste operators, aftermarket service and maintenance (including LOLER inspections, fleet inspections, MOT services, refurbishments, and specialised EV servicing), and parts/components supply. Distribution combines direct enterprise sales for major fleet orders with regional dealer channels (Manvik Plant & Hire for Northern Ireland; Penske Australia for the Australian market), supported by the UK's largest RCV service network of 16 Service Centres across UK and Ireland. The 2025 launch of Terberg Connect - remote real-time diagnostics now fitted as standard to all new Dennis Eagle vehicles and Terberg Matec UK bin lifts - introduces a digital vehicle management layer on top of the hardware base, while the combined Dennis Eagle and Terberg Matec UK aftermarket team integration targets improved first-time-fix rates and faster response times for the installed fleet. Customers span government (Birmingham City Council, East Riding of Yorkshire, Milton Keynes, Medway), commercial operators (SUEZ, Biffa, Bywaters), fleet hire firms (NRG Riverside, SFS Contract Hire), and specialised sites (Heathrow Airport).
