Compact Construction Equipment LLC, the authorized Bobcat equipment dealer in south, central and west Texas, has acquired Bobcat of Abilene.

In business since the early 1960's, Bobcat of Abilene distributes Bobcat equipment in the Abilene, Sweetwater and San Angelo markets and operates a full-service rental store that provides earthmoving, landscape, concrete, compaction and aerial equipment.

"In addition, our parts and service capacity increases, helping us better support customers in our local market. Our team is excited to be joining the CCE family."

Prince will be staying on with CCE and will continue to manage the Abilene branch.

We are excited about this acquisition and to expand our regional footprint in West Texas to better serve our customers."
