Brandt Industries USA Ltd. has announced the Murphy Tractor & Equipment Co. dealership network will sell and service its Brandt Material Handler product line.
“The United States Midwest metal recycling industry now has access to the new, purpose built Brandt Material Handler, thanks to a partnership between Brandt Industries and Murphy Tractor & Equipment Co.,” Brandt Industries says. “This partnership makes Murphy Tractor & Equipment Co. the first Brandt Material Handler dealer in the country.”
Murphy Tractor, one of John Deere’s largest North American construction equipment dealers, was founded in 1982 and is headquartered in Park City, Kansas. The company has 29 locations in Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska and Ohio.
“We take great pride in finding partners like Murphy Tractor & Equipment Co. who are committed to the industries we serve and to delivering exceptional customer service,” says Jason Klassen, Brandt Industries senior vice president. “We are excited to serve the metal recycling industry in the U.S. for the first time, and we plan to expand our network here even further in the future.”
Brandt says its material handler is designed, manufactured and supported in North America. It is built on the John Deere platform and delivers "unmatched" productivity and uptime, with easy-to-find components and support through local dealerships.
“The fact that the Brandt Material Handler is built right here in North America is a major advantage for our customers, who won’t have to wait for shipments of machines and parts from overseas,” says Jim Craig, general sales manager at Murphy Tractor.
“Having the Brandt and Deere names on this machine is a huge benefit for us, because of the quality they both bring to the industry. We’re excited to be the first Brandt Material Handler dealer in the country.”
Brandt Industries, based in Hudson, Illinois, is part of the Canada-based Brandt Group, a privately owned manufacturing and distribution company that serves industries including agriculture, construction, forestry, rail, mining, steel, transportation, material handling and energy. The company has more than 6,200 employees and more than 180 locations in the U.S., Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
