Terex Corp., the manufacturer of Genie-branded products, signed a long-term strategic alliance with ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex to be the official lift equipment provider to the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex at Walt Disney World Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Fla.

“ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex already uses Genie lift equipment,” said Matt Fearon, president, Terex Aerial Work Platforms. “By being the official lift equipment provider to ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex, it allows us to highlight the various applications and capabilities of our quality equipment at a variety of events across the complex.”

To commemorate the sponsorship, Terex custom painted a new Genie S-60X telescopic boom as a way to inaugurate the alliance. It is a one-of-a-kind airbrushed boom by renowned artist Tim Norris. The boom’s unique sports-themed motif is interwoven with special Disney-inspired details that highlight the relationship between Terex and ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex. The boom will be on display at the sports complex when not in use.

“We are thrilled about this new relationship with ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex and look forward to working with them in the upcoming years,” said Fearon. “Our new alliance is one of the many exciting opportunities we have ahead of us to strengthen the Genie and Terex brands globally.”
