Alta Equipment Group (Alta), a provider of industrial and construction equipment and related services and one of the top performing Volvo Construction Equipment (Volvo CE) dealers in the United States, is expanding its territory into Florida.

As Alta takes over the distribution of Volvo CE products in all of Florida east of the Apalachicola River and in 12 counties in southern Georgia, it will ensure customers have access to a diverse portfolio of premium equipment while increasing the fleets of new, used and rental equipment in the state. The company also will improve the management of the spare parts inventory and enhance the quality of customer support in the region, according to the company.

"We are excited to offer Floridians our expertise as a customer-solution company, focused on providing excellent service," said Rob Chiles, president, Construction Equipment Group, Alta Equipment Company. "As a recent publicly traded company, our access to the capital market will allow us to make investments that aim to meet the high demands for construction equipment and support in the state."
