Equipment Corporation of America (ECA), a distributor of foundation construction equipment, received the Bauer Manufacturing Service Partner Certification Award at the Bauer Parts and Service Initiative Meeting in Conroe, Texas. ECA is an exclusive Bauer distributor covering the eastern United States and eastern Canada.

This award certifies that ECA meets all Bauer Manufacturing standards, including stocking and supplying factory-authorized parts; employing factory-trained technicians; and complying with all health, safety and environmental mandates common to the United States and Canadian foundation drilling industry.

ECA earned the certification by successfully undergoing a rigid audit process at each of its six service facilities. The review included an inventory of tools and testing equipment; employee and customer technical training; service trucks; adequate maintenance and storage facilities; updated safety equipment; and compliance with oil and hazardous materials storage, handling, and disposal requirements.

“ECA is honored to accept this coveted award from Bauer, one of the dominant global manufacturers of foundation construction equipment,” said Executive Vice President Ben Dutton, whom accepted the award from Walter Froehlich, Bauer's director of after market parts and service. “It is a testament to the diligence and professionalism of the entire ECA team from our parts and service department to the executive level.”
