ECCO Equipment Corp. - Equipment & News

The roots of ECCO Equipment Corporation go back to 1958, when two good friends – Don Schmid and Lester Haug in Los Angeles came together and with $5000 formed a partnership that became the Engineered Construction Company: ECCO. The early years saw ECCO specialize in reservoirs, flood control, and bridge projects. Through the use of innovative construction techniques, ECCO managed to not only underbid the competition, and also maintain a large profit margin. Over time, ECCO began to become a popular go-to for local contractors, and as a result its fleet grew. As word spread of the company’s solid work, the company expanded into new territories, including Nevada, Arizona, and Utah. By the 80’s, ECCO Equipment found itself employed all across the U.S., and their equipment could be found as far south as the border with Mexico and as far north as Alberta, Canada. Currently ECCO has 15 locations spread throughout the western U.S. and Canada.
