Vermeer Texas - Louisiana, an underground and environmental equipment dealer with 12 locations across Texas and south Louisiana, celebrated the grand opening of a new facility in Amarillo, Texas. The new facility replaces the location on the southeast side of the city that had been open since 2007.
Located on six acres on the south side of Amarillo directly off Interstate 27, the 15,000 sq. ft. (1,393.5 sq m) facility offers larger service bays, additional parts storage and a meeting room for special events. The larger facility will allow the dealership to stock more equipment as well as host demonstrations and training.
More than 250 people attended the grand opening celebration. In addition to the team from Vermeer Texas-Louisiana, several vendors including McLaughlin, MI SWACO and Railhead were on hand to support the new facility. Honored guests from Vermeer Corporation in Pella, Iowa, attended the event, including Mary Andringa, CEO, and Jason Andringa, president, who made comments to the guests about the company’s roots in agriculture.
The Amarillo Chamber of Commerce was on hand and held a ribbon cutting ceremony that included leaders from the city and local community ambassadors.
“We are extremely grateful for the outpouring of support our Amarillo customer base has shown throughout our relocation. The new store will enable us to better support their needs and we are excited to be able to do that,” said Mark Krueger, Vermeer Texas-Louisiana COO.
