United Construction & Forestry's new facility in Hermon, Maine, boasts a showroom, expanded storage and advanced service capabilities. The grand opening event showcased their diverse equipment offerings and featured new machinery from suppliers, door prizes, food and live music.
United Construction & Forestry (UCF) held a grand opening celebration May 16, 2025, of its new state-of-the-art facility in Hermon, Maine.
The Hermon facility marks a significant milestone in United Construction & Forestry's mission to serve customers across seven counties in the Greater Bangor, Maine, region.
Located at 603 Colebrook Road in Hermon, the new facility boasts a 40,000-sq.-ft. showroom with office space, along with 8,000 sq. ft. of expanded storage; an expanded footprint and more. This setup enables the Hermon store to work on multiple large machines at once, minimizing customer wait times and enabling customers to get back to their projects faster, according to the company.
The new Hermon location offers a diverse offering of fleet and rental equipment including compact excavators, skid steers, crushers and pavers from John Deere, Wirtgen Group, Vogele and Morbark.
"This new store and service center have had a dramatic impact on how effectively all of our departments are able to service our customers, and in particular, the parts and service department," said Nick Labun, service manager of the new facility. "In the old facility, we had six service bays. We now have 13 along with a dual overhead crane system versus our previous single overhead crane. This has dramatically increased our service capabilities."
According to Labun, UCF's shop employees appreciate the state-of-the-art exhaust system that has been put in place.
"Sensors in our roof detect when there are excessive emissions that, when activated, remove the offending emissions and circulates new air into the shop," he said. "Also, each service bay has an automated lubricant dispensing system that gives the service reps immediate access to all required lubricants, and it accurately measures the amount of fluids dispensed."
"And our parts department has dramatically more space to inventory parts for all the brands that we represent," he added. "It's nearly three times the size of our previous parts warehouse capability."
In addition, the company now has a cold storage area for keeping attachments and similar items out of the weather and a wash bay has been added, which collects and recycles the water used during the wash process so the water can be used.
"United Construction & Forestry also has invested in an advanced hose department that allows us to quickly manufacture any hydraulic hose for any piece of machinery that our customer may be looking for," said Labun. "All of this has tremendously increased our efficiency and has improved the working environment for our employees."
