Lippmann increases dealer presence in Midwest

Cudahy, Wisconsin-based crushing and screening equipment producer Lippmann has announced a dealership arrangement with US Equipment Sales and Rentals. That Lemont, Illinois-based firm has four locations in the United States Midwest.

“This partnership strengthens Lippmann’s dealer network across the Midwest, ensuring aggregate producers in Iowa have access to Lippmann’s full range of high-performance crushing and screening equipment,” states Lippmann.

On the US Equipment website, the firm lists an office in Bondurant, Iowa, as one of its five locations, along with Lemont in Illinois, Jasper and Maryland Heights, Missouri, and Waupaca, Wisconsin.

“Bringing US Equipment on board as a Lippmann dealer was a clear decision,” says Dillon Borchardt, Lippmann’s territory sales manager. “They have established themselves as experts in material processing solutions throughout the Midwest and have a highly skilled team of parts and service professionals available across the territory.”

Lippmann describes US Equipment owner Simon G. Bradley as having more than two decades of experience in the aggregate industry. Originally from Ireland, Bradley’s “hands-on experience in the quarry business laid the foundation for his approach to providing practical and innovative solutions for customers,” states Lippmann.

“When working with our customers, we saw how much expansion they were experiencing and the need to upgrade their equipment to handle a higher tonnage (tons per hour),” says Bradley. “We knew then that we needed to add a manufacturer like Lippmann to help us address our customers’ development. Our progress at US Equipment is directly tied to the advancement of our customers' businesses, and it’s vital to support their success with equipment that can help them scale up their production.”

Since founding US Equipment in 2015, Lippmann says Bradley’s team has an “ability to provide immediate solutions to real-world aggregate challenges.” Lippmann names US Equipment’s vice president of sales Bob Meyers and its general manager Kevin Kiesgen as having a combined 60 years of expertise.

“When you see that service truck pull up in your yard, or our name on the side of our equipment, we want you to know we have you covered,” says Kiesgen. “The peace of mind to know we have the parts, a service guy and a shop in your area to help you get back up and running is paramount to US Equipment. It’s not just the equipment we sell or rent it’s the promise that we will keep you running and producing.”

Last month, Canadian crushing and screening equipment maker McCloskey International announced it had expanded the territory covered by US Equipment Sales to now include Minnesota, and parts of North and South Dakota.

In addition to Lippmann and McCloskey, the US Equipment website indicates the firm also carries machinery made by Diamond Z, Eagle Crusher, Masaba, Tesab and several other equipment makers.

Lippmann says it builds “the heaviest and most reliable jaw crushers on the market,” listing its product line as consisting of primary jaw crushers, primary and secondary impact and cone crushers, vibrating grizzly feeders, two-stage jaw/impactor crushing systems and ancillary products.
