Jesco Incorporated, a John Deere construction equipment dealer in four states throughout the Northeast, has broken ground on its newest facility in Babylon, N.Y.

The new facility will be strategically located in the township of Deer Park and will service customers throughout New York City and Long Island.

“This facility will be a game changer in the way Jesco is able to service our customers on Long Island,” said Anthony Falzarano, vice president of sales of Jesco. “This full-service location will help us accommodate rental and shop service requirements of the Long Island construction community. We will now be able to add to a rental fleet that is currently more than 650 units strong and growing by the day.”

The 21,000 sq.-ft. facility will boast eight service bays that will be equipped with 10-ton (9 t) overhead cranes. Located at 110 Jefryn Boulevard East in Deer Park, N.Y., the full-service facility will be constructed on a lot that is nearly five acres.

“What separates Jesco from other dealerships is the people we employ,” said Jonathan Robustelli, president of Jesco. “We are excited about the opportunity that lies ahead and look forward to staffing our new Long Island facility with employees that will continue to separate us from the pack.”

In addition to the John Deere construction products at the Deer Park facility, Jesco also will rent, sell and service Deere compact equipment products, Ditch Witch products, Bomag roadbuilding equipment, Genesis demolition tools, Indeco hydraulic breakers and Hydrema compact dump trucks.

“Rental business has been critical to Jesco’s business model and will play a large role in the success of our new long island branch” said Andrew Falco, Jesco regional rental manager.

Jesco expects the Deer Park facility to be fully operational by April 2015. Once complete this branch will be Jesco’s 11th location, the others include: South Plainfield, N.J.; Fairfield, N.J.; Mount Holly, N.J.; Beacon, N.Y.; Baltimore, Md.; Delmar, Md.; Fredrick, Md.; White Plains, Md.; Middletown, Del.; and Shrewsbury, Mass.
