The event marked the company's 14th branch and drew a strong turnout of customers, manufacturers and local partners from across the region. The new facility represents the company's growing commitment to serving contractors throughout central Texas, offering equipment from manufacturers, including Komatsu, Wirtgen and Takeuchi. The Hewitt branch provides sales, rental, parts and service capabilities designed to better support customers in Waco, Temple, Killeen and the surrounding areas. "This location is truly built from the ground up to handle the needs of our customers," said Richard Graves, sales and operations manager of the Hewitt branch. "We have the team, the space and the equipment to keep contractors up and running every day." The Hewitt facility spans more than 10 acres of yard space and includes a large demo area where customers can operate machines firsthand under real-world conditions. The new service shop is equipped with multiple overhead cranes, giving technicians the ability to perform complete rebuilds on any size equipment. The previous Waco-area branch had just 1.5 acres of yard space, making the move a major upgrade in capacity, efficiency and customer accessibility. Kirby-Smith's service operation runs 24/7, with a dedicated after-hours hotline connecting customers directly to on-call technicians. The Hewitt branch operates a fleet of 15 service trucks that cover central Texas, providing reliable field service support to job sites of all sizes. From preventive maintenance to emergency repairs, the new location allows Kirby-Smith to respond faster and handle a wider range of service needs than ever before. The Hewitt branch open house featured vendor displays, equipment demonstrations and a full BBQ lunch service for attendees. Guests toured the new facility, viewed several machines up close and had the opportunity to meet directly with product experts and factory representatives. The event highlighted Kirby-Smith Machinery's continued investment in customer support and its long-standing reputation as a trusted partner to contractors across Texas.  CEG ## Photos ![ESCO’s Anthony Obi, district sales manager, discussed the performance and durability of the company’s buckets, blades and teeth.](https://dmt55mxnkgbz2.cloudfront.net/1205x0_s3-69606-W-TX-KSM-HEWITT-1.jpg) *Photo credit: CEG photo* ![Chris Brenz (L) of Kirby-Smith Machinery and Paul McLaren of Wirtgen pose with a Wirtgen WR 240i stabilizer.](https://dmt55mxnkgbz2.cloudfront.net/1205x0_s3-69606-W-TX-KSM-HEWITT-10_JPG.jpg) *Photo credit: CEG photo* ![Trey McNeel (L) of Kirby-Smith Machinery and Buck Lawson of Komatsu look over a Komatsu PC220LC-12 excavator equipped with 179 hp.](https://dmt55mxnkgbz2.cloudfront.net/1205x0_s3-69606-W-TX-KSM-HEWITT-11_JPG.jpg) *Photo credit: CEG photo* ![Kirby-Smith Machinery celebrated the ribbon cutting of its new Hewitt, Texas, branch with company representatives, community leaders and manufacturer partners in attendance.](https://dmt55mxnkgbz2.cloudfront.net/1205x0_s3-69606-W-TX-KSM-HEWITT-12_JPG.jpg) *Photo credit: CEG photo* ![John Kinney, sales representative of Pemberton Attachments, shared information about the company’s lineup of quality attachments.](https://dmt55mxnkgbz2.cloudfront.net/1205x0_s3-69606-W-TX-KSM-HEWITT-2_JPG.jpg) *Photo credit: CEG photo* ![Monty Owens (L) of NPK and Kris Phillips of Kirby-Smith Machinery discussed the features of NPK’s GH series hydraulic hammers.](https://dmt55mxnkgbz2.cloudfront.net/1205x0_s3-69606-W-TX-KSM-HEWITT-3.jpg) *Photo credit: CEG photo* ![(L-R): Stacy Morey, Jeremy Lehman and Brad Smith, all of Arcosa Lightweight, attended the event at Kirby-Smith Machinery’s Hewitt, Texas, branch.](https://dmt55mxnkgbz2.cloudfront.net/1205x0_s3-69606-W-TX-KSM-HEWITT-4.jpg) *Photo credit: CEG photo* ![(L-R): Jeff Brown, industrial sales representative of Kirby-Smith Machinery; Jeff Baldwin, regional product specialist of Takeuchi; Mike Morrison, president of Bear Contractor; and Michael Morrison, equipment operator of Bear Contractor, discussed the latest Takeuchi models on display.](https://dmt55mxnkgbz2.cloudfront.net/1205x0_s3-69606-W-TX-KSM-HEWITT-6.jpg) *Photo credit: CEG photo* ![Erika Archie (L) and Cody Archie (R) of Bar 7 Ranch and Michael Elder of All American Diesel & Tire attended the event.
