Equipment Depot, now one of the nation’s largest material-handling equipment sales, rental and service providers, has integrated its five operating companies into one company.
“Coming together and working as one allows us to streamline our material handling business to better serve our customers by leveraging the geographic distribution, product offerings and proven best practices of each operating company,” says Giel Claes, CEO of Pon Material Handling. “Creating one Equipment Depot strengthens our position in the industry, making us a better partner for our OEMs and allowing us to develop customized solutions for our customers while enhancing our focus on service.”
Prior to today, the five former individual operating companies were known as Equipment Depot Illinois (previously Material Handling Services); Equipment Depot Kentucky (previously Levee Lift); Equipment Depot Ohio (previously Portman Equipment Company); Equipment Depot Pennsylvania (previously Forklift, Inc.); and Equipment Depot Texas (previously Equipment Depot). During the past decade, Pon Material Handling acquired the five independent material handling businesses, but kept them as separate operating companies.
During the past two years, Equipment Depot has undergone the integration of its operating companies, better aligning its personnel, products, and service operations with its customers and OEMs.
