The Nortrax locations in Pembroke, N.H., and Springfield, Vt., will become distributors of Wirtgen Group products. These locations will have responsibility for servicing and supporting Wirtgen Group customers for the entire state of New Hampshire and the eastern counties of Vermont. Nortrax has a total of nine John Deere construction and forestry dealership locations servicing four northeastern states.

John Deere recently acquired the Wirtgen Group, headquartered in Germany. Wirtgen has five brands across the entire road construction sector spanning milling, processing, mixing, paving, compaction and rehabilitation. Wirtgen's product portfolio enhances John Deere's existing construction equipment offering and establishes Deere as an industry leader in global road construction, according to the manufacturer.

In the immediate future, Nortrax will deploy a focused team in New Hampshire and eastern Vermont dedicated exclusively to the sales and support of the Wirtgen Group products. This group of Wirtgen Group specialists includes industry and product experts as well as technicians and parts personnel who understand the business and the sense of urgency required to support the Road and Mineral Technology markets.

Travis Lynn, Nortrax Northeast vice president, said, "We are really honored here at Nortrax about the opportunity to represent Wirtgen and offer their superb, market-leading products to our paving, compaction, and construction customers. The Wirtgen Group has helped many customers worldwide succeed in the road construction industry. We at Nortrax take pride in this opportunity and will make sure this success continues with our dedicated support teams."
