Bob Mullins (R), president of ROMCO Equipment, joins John Hunter Nemecek (L), driver of the ROMCO Chevrolet Silverado in the NASCAR Camping World Series, and Joe Nemecek, owner of NEMCO Motorsports. ROMCO sponsors the truck in both appearances at Texas Motor Speedway.

ROMCO Equipment Company announces the opening of its corporate headquarters and Dallas area branch. Operations at the new location began Aug. 28 with a grand opening on Sept. 8.

Family-owned and Texas-based since 1961, ROMCO's mission is to provide the users of construction, road building, oil and gas, mining and aggregate equipment with high-quality and highly-productive products, backing the customer's buying decision with outstanding product support. According to the company, ROMCO's reputation is one built upon excellence, stability, innovation and professionalism.

The new ROMCO Corporate Facility and Branch Operations is located on nine acres on West Beltline Road between 35E and George Bush Turnpike in Carrollton, Texas. “After 53 years at our previous location, it was obvious we had outgrown our facilities. We felt it was time for a clean sheet design to better serve our North Texas customers,” said Robert Mullins, ROMCO CEO. The Carrollton facility is ROMCO's largest with 13,000 sq. ft. of office space, an 8,000-sq. ft. parts warehouse and a 15,000-sq. ft. service shop. Its centralized location allows for better access and plenty of room to grow. ROMCO is now well prepared to support a growing North Texas market.

Statewide, ROMCO has 10 branches and more than 250 employees (60 at the new Carrollton location). As a heavy equipment distributor in the state of Texas, ROMCO Equipment Co. carries the full line of Volvo construction equipment; Hitachi construction and mining equipment; SDLG line of wheel loaders; Genesis attachments; and FRD/Kent hydraulic hammers.

ROMCO's paving division represents the full line of GOMACO concrete paving equipment, Volvo paving and compaction equipment, BearCat, Blaw-Knox and LeeBoy asphalt paving products and the FINN line of hydroseeders, bark and straw blowers.

ROMCO's MPS division (material processing systems) specializes in aggregate and material processing equipment and rentals from Sandvik, Superior, McLanahan, Terex/Finlay, Weir and Phoenix water recovery systems.

Material Producers Construction Services is a wholly owned subsidiary of ROMCO. MPCS specializes in plant maintenance, design and construction. It also provides service on all crushing and processing equipment.

ROMCO's RPS division (ROMCO Power Systems) specializes in compressors, power generation, light plants, pumps and engines. RPS is a distributor of new engines representing Volvo Penta, Kohler and Kubota and carries a full range of generators and pumps in both mobile and skid mounted configurations. RPS represents Atlas Copco and CK Power in Texas.

ROMCO's ten branches are: Dallas (Carrollton), Ft. Worth, Longview, Buffalo, Houston, Mercedes (Rio Grande Valley), Austin, San Antonio, Corpus Christi and Carmine.
