Leslie Equipment Company held an open house and equipment expo at the dealership's new Marietta, Ohio, facility, located at 105 Tennis Center Dr. on May 4. Approximately 200 industry professionals from Ohio, West Virginia and Kentucky were in attendance to catch up with Leslie Equipment Company personnel and speak with manufacturer representatives while reviewing the dealership's lineup of equipment. DaVincis provided dinner during the set up and The Corral served breakfast and lunch during the event.

Attendees were encouraged to test their operator skills on a John Deere 17G compact excavator to win prizes. Headquartered in Cowen, W. Va., Leslie Equipment Company serves the construction, forestry, landscape, mining, oil, paving and recycling industries from its five locations in West Virginia; two locations in Kentucky; and its Marietta facility. John Leslie, president, has presided over the dealership since its founding in 1968.

The well-stocked parts warehouse is 10,395 sq. ft.; the 17,412-sq.-ft. service area features 12 service bays with three 10-ton cranes and a 15-ton crane; and the office and reception area make up the balance.
