More than 500 guests attended General Equipment & Supplies Inc.'s Aggregate Expo March 4-5, 2025, at the Holiday Inn in Fargo, N.D. The expo's purpose is to educate those in the industry and introduce the latest equipment and technology available.

"Our primary goal is to strengthen and build relationships with our customers," said Don Kern, vice president of material processing of General Equipment. "We held our first expo in the late 1990s, and customers were very appreciative. Due to the positive initial experience, we started doing it every three years, and now it's tradition."

Kern said the event is unique to General Equipment's aggregate market and customers, making it an event that is relatable because it applies to customers and their employees.

"As we continue to grow, more and more people come, so we've put a lot more focus on education," he said. "We keep trying to improve that because there's a lot of feedback on the education section, and it is the main reason people come."

Industry experts offered 25 educational sessions covering a variety of topics, including Dakota Cone Crusher: Real World Results; Key Strategies for Conveyor Maintenance; Portable Plant Customizations; Power Generation for Mobile Plants; and Dale Carnegie's Leading with Confidence.

Representatives of 29 manufacturers spoke with attendees at the trade show. An outdoor equipment display allowed attendees to see a large variety of aggregate and construction equipment up close.

"There's this whole networking thing that happens and, although these guys are all competitors, they're also all here for the same thing — to get better at what they're doing," said Kern. CEG
