Vermeer All Roads (VAR) continues its expansion into the industrial equipment industry with the acquisition of three additional dealerships owned by Vermeer Sales and Service Inc. (VSSI), a dealer partner of Vermeer Corporation with three locations serving the Pittsburgh, Cleveland and Toledo markets. Vermeer specializes in providing equipment sales, service and parts to customers in industries such as utility installation, horizontal directional drilling, tree care, equipment rentals, landscaping and organic recycling.
This expansion gives Vermeer All Roads an impressive regional service area that includes Northern Ohio, Western Pennsylvania, Eastern West Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina.
“We are really excited about the opportunity to expand our partnership with Vermeer,” said Andy Franklin, All Roads CEO. “Vermeer Corporation is a terrific partner, and we are really excited about the leadership and direction of the company.”
Founded in 1960, VSSI was built on a simple and honest approach to customer service – build a local facility where customers could come for readily available parts, service and equipment, staffed by local people with knowledge and a desire to help. That commitment stands true 50 years later, and the staff, with an average of over 12 years of experience, are passionate about the Vermeer product and are driven to help businesses that partner with them to succeed.
“One of the elements of this deal that we found most attractive was the strength of the management team and staff at VSSI,” said Mark Boyle, President of VAR.
Sales Manager Eric Holby will work in conjunction with Mark Boyle to oversee operations at the VSSI locations. This leadership team will ensure a smooth transition and continue to deliver exceptional service levels to its customers. Over the years, Mark Boyle was an integral part of the management team who expanded VAR from a single facility to a multi-state, award-winning dealer generating over $100 million in revenue.
Vermeer All Roads shares many of the same customers as VSSI, and the acquisition allows VAR to coordinate and leverage its efforts to deliver additional value to these regional customers. Moreover, it will give some of Vermeer’s pipeline customers the opportunity to have one service provider that will stay with them for the duration of large multi-state projects. As part of the acquisition, Vermeer All Roads will invest in providing customers with more inventory, service and on-the-road trucks.
“We look forward to making significant investments to make sure that the Vermeer customer experience in these markets is second to none,” said Boyle.
