Lawrence Equipment Inc., a Case Construction Equipment dealer, has announced the expansion of the company’s operations with the opening of a new facility in Suffolk, Va.

The newest Lawrence Equipment facility (3750 Pruden Boulevard in Suffolk) encompasses 15,900 total sq. ft. (1,477.1 sq m) and features diagnostic and repair equipment. The new location will serve customers in the Hampton Roads area and will include new and used equipment, rental services, heavy hauling and in-shop or over-the-road service.

According to David Hanger, president, Lawrence Equipment, the continued growth stems from the company’s longstanding tradition of helping customers succeed in the highly competitive construction industry.

“The key to our success is helping customers win,” said Hanger. “As 100-percent employee-owned, we are devoted to providing our customers with our signature high level of service. We’re extremely excited about our newest location and the opportunity it represents for our company and customers in the area.”

Headquartered in Roanoke, Lawrence Equipment now operates a total of five dealerships with additional locations in Ashland, Bridgewater, Suffolk and Waynesboro. Employing a total of 55 people, Lawrence Equipment provides its customers with fast and reliable service throughout the Commonwealth of Virginia.

Hanger said Lawrence Equipment plans to hire eight new employees as part of the expansion.
