Millions of Americans work hard every day to build the equipment, roads, bridges, public transport systems and port facilities that fuel America's powerful economic engine. During the five days of CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2014 in Las Vegas in March, more than 1,300 of those same people visited the Terex exhibit in the show's gold lot to contribute to the manufacturer's I Make America artwork.

After the show, FingerSmear™ Artist, Kelly Sullivan, put the finishing touches to the masterpiece, and Terex donated it to Association of Equipment Manufacturers representatives.

"We're among the top supporters of AEM's I Make America campaign, and for many years we have championed the critical need for more investment in America's infrastructure," says Ron DeFeo, chairman and CEO. "What better metaphor to show how vital everyone's role is in building America's infrastructure than to create a work of art that includes the imprint of more than a thousand participants."

AEM intends to use the donated artwork to drive interest and encourage others to support pro-manufacturing causes. The painting will be on display at many venues in the weeks and months to come. Both AEM and Terex are currently finalizing a plan to enable as many people as possible to see the artwork, helping carry its message to a broad audience of industry influencers.
