The Historical Construction Equipment Association (HCEA), a 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to preserving the history of the construction, dredging and surface mining equipment industries, announced new corporate memberships.
Ohio CAT was founded in 1945 as Ohio Machinery Company to distribute Caterpillar products in 66 of Ohio’s 88 counties. In 2003, the assets of fellow Cat dealer Holt Company of Ohio were purchased and today Ohio CAT serves all of Ohio, northern Kentucky and southeast Indiana. Operating under the third generation of Taylor family ownership, Ohio CAT is a long-time supporter of the National Construction Equipment Museum, operated by the HCEA in Bowling Green, Ohio.
Cleveland Brothers Equipment Company Inc. was originally founded as a landscaping contracting company by Bob and Roy Cleveland in 1937. The brothers acquired the Caterpillar dealership in central Pennsylvania as a new business opportunity and Cleveland Brothers was formed on Jan. 1, 1948. Cleveland acquired One Call Rentals and, in October 2005, Beckwith Machinery. With the fifth generation of Cleveland brothers now working for the company, Cleveland Equipment serves all of northeastern, central and western Pennsylvania, along with western Maryland and northern West Virginia.
Corporate members designate up to five of their officers and employees to receive the HCEA’s quarterly magazine, Equipment Echoes, and VIP passes to its annual International Convention and Old Equipment Exposition, to be held next at its Bowling Green, Ohio, headquarters Sept. 14 through 16, 2012. They also receive links on the HCEA’s Web site at www.hcea.net, and are being publicized in Equipment Echoes and in press releases to trade publications and Web sites.
Individual memberships are $30.00 within the United States and Canada, and $40.00 elsewhere.
