On May 29, 2025, National Equipment Dealers (NED) held a groundbreaking ceremony in Manor, Texas, to begin construction of what will become the company's first Hyundai-only flagship facility.

It also will be the first co-branded Hyundai Construction Equipment dealership in the United States.

The event brought together attendees from across NED's organization, representatives from Hyundai, city officials, project partners and members of the local community.

Zack Kavanaugh, CEO of NED, led the ceremony and spoke about the company's growing presence in Texas, the strategic importance of the Manor location and the strength of its partnership with Hyundai.

Kavanaugh emphasized that Texas is a key focus for the company's future.

"We see tremendous long-term opportunity in Texas," he said. "This will be our third location in the state and, over the next eight months, we'll expand from two to six locations statewide. This reflects our commitment to supporting contractors, building strong teams and being part of the state's continued growth."

Located along the growing U.S. 290 corridor, the Manor branch was chosen to strategically serve the greater Austin area. Kavanaugh pointed to the region's long-term development potential and the partnerships with local officials as key reasons for selecting the site.

He also thanked the many contributors involved in the project, including manufacturer partners, contractors, municipal leaders and NED team members. Although the facility is expected to be operational by early 2026, NED has already begun serving the area with local sales and service staff in place.

"We're not just building a facility," Kavanaugh added. "We're building relationships with our customers, our partners and this community."

Kavanaugh also emphasized NED's relationship approach.

"We do what we say, and we're going to stand behind you," he said. "That's how we build relationships."

He noted that NED's involvement extends beyond business.

"When we enter a new community, we will be part of the community," Kavanaugh said. "We will give back and provide."

NED takes pride in hiring from within and has brought in several experienced staff members from other branches to help successfully launch operations in Manor. The new facility will be full service, offering sales, rentals, parts and equipment support.

Once complete, the Manor location will feature Hyundai equipment exclusively, including excavators, wheel loaders, articulated dump trucks and more.  CEG
