Peninsula Equipment has been appointed the new Peterson distributor of the Florida peninsula and the central pan-handle region.

“Peninsula is excited to expand on its territory and represent Peterson products in Florida. We have a long standing partnership with Peterson and currently represent their products in South Carolina and Georgia as well. Peninsula is rapidly expanding with service and parts personnel located in Lakeland, and new branches opening in North Miami and Valdosta, Georgia,” said Bill Padula, VP of Peninsula.

“Peterson’s full range of horizontal grinders, disc and drum chippers, blower trucks and screens will be well represented by Peninsula — their focus on the customer and products is well respected in this region — we are excited to see what they can do with Florida,” said Brian Gray, eastern sales manager of Peterson.

Peterson specializes in developing delivery and processing equipment that turns low-grade organic materials into high value products. Since 1981 Peterson has manufactured equipment for customers in more than 25 countries.
