Martin Equipment has been named a Trimble Technology Outlet.
That means Martin Equipment will now sell Trimble grade control, site positioning systems and correction services technology directly to customers using John Deere and Wacker Neuson earthmoving equipment, including dozers, excavators, motor graders, soil compactors, mini-excavators and compact track loaders.
Martin Equipment, headquartered in Goodfield, Illinois, is a fourth-generation, family- and woman-owned John Deere Construction & Forestry dealer. The company was founded in 1926 by Samuel F. Martin in Roanoke, Illinois. Today, Martin Equipment operates nine locations across Iowa, Illinois and Missouri and employs 250 people, including a location in southwest Rock Island. (Rock Island’s location coverage includes Henry, Mercer, Rock Island and Whiteside counties in Illinois and Des Moines, Henry, Louisa, Muscatine and Scott counties in Iowa.)
Trimble Technology Outlets are a new and important part of Trimble’s civil construction distribution strategy. In March, the Westminster, Colorado-based Trimble launched its first technology outlet with Kirby-Smith Machinery, located in Texas and Oklahoma.
By adding authorized resellers representing a wide variety of manufacturers to the Trimble distribution channel, it becomes easier for users of a wide variety of machine types to purchase, install and utilize Trimble technology for improved jobsite productivity and profitability.
As an authorized Trimble reseller, Martin now sells Trimble technology directly to its customers in central Illinois, eastern Iowa and northeast Missouri.
“Martin Equipment has built a reputation for exceptional service for nearly 100 years, and we are excited to announce that service will now include the sale and support of Trimble technology for their customers in the Midwest,” Ron Bisio, Trimble senior vice president, field systems, said in a news release. “Our goal with every new Trimble Technology Outlet is to make it as easy as possible for contractors using various types of equipment to connect their digital and physical worlds and increase jobsite productivity and profitability through the use of Trimble technology.” “We look forward to working with Martin to make this vision a reality for their customers,” he added.
Martin Equipment will now offer Trimble grade control solutions — including site positioning systems and correction services — directly to customers across the Martin footprint.
“Our commitment to delivering exceptional service is matched by the strength of the brands we represent. We’re excited to expand that promise with the addition of Trimble technology for John Deere and Wacker Neuson equipment,” said DeLene Bane, president and owner at Martin Equipment. “Contractors managing mixed fleets have long faced challenges in fully leveraging technology that is available. By offering integrated sales, support and service for Trimble, we’re helping our customers overcome those barriers and discover new efficiencies. We look forward to working with them to streamline workflows and drive smarter, more connected operations.”
“Our goal is to make technology work for our customers — not the other way around,” added Jeremi “JB” Briggs, integrated technology manager at Martin Equipment. “It’s all about giving them smarter tools that make their day-to-day easier and more productive.”
