Equipment Corporation of America (ECA), a distributor of foundation construction equipment, joined Bauer Equipment America (BEA) in hosting 36 distinguished guests at the annual Bauer Oktoberfest Event in Germany from Oct. 17 to 21.

Each year ECA joins Texas-based BEA to fund and organize a trip for some preferred clients to the country where its foundation equipment is manufactured. This year's agenda included Bauer product presentations; guided tour and product demonstrations at Bauer Maschinen's Aresing and Edelshausen factories; visit to the Betek facility in Aichhalden; jobsite visits in Stuttgart and Frankfurt; guided tour of Klemm's Drolshagen factory; sightseeing in Cologne; and Oktoberfest in Munich.

"The Oktoberfest Event is a tradition we started back in 2004 when we picked up the Bauer line," said CEO Roy Kern. "This is a unique opportunity to spend quality time with our customers and to introduce them to the people and companies that produce the foundation equipment they rely upon every day."

ECA has been a leading supplier of foundation construction equipment in the eastern United States and eastern Canada for more than a century. It is the exclusive distributor of Bauer drills; Klemm Anchor and Micropile drills; RTG piling rigs; MAT grout systems; Pileco diesel pile hammers; HPSI vibratory pile hammers; WORD International drill attachments; Dawson construction products; Grizzly Side Grip Vibros; ALLU ground improvement equipment; and DIGGA dangle drills.
