Kenney Machinery Corp., an equipment dealer with history dating back to the 1890s, that incorporated in Indiana 120 years ago this coming March., is taking on the full line of Hyundai construction equipment and will be supporting Hyundai customers in the central Indiana counties surrounding Indianapolis and in the northeastern part of the state.

Kenney is owned by RPM/KMC LLC, which acquired McDonald Machinery in 2019. In addition to serving customers from its 30,000-sq.-ft. Indianapolis location, which has 10 service bays, they also will provide parts and service support through Kenney and RPM locations in Fort Wayne, Franklin, Lafayette and Lebanon, Ind.

"Kenney Machinery brings to the Hyundai dealer network longtime expertise support-ing customers in turf care and municipalities, along with broad experience working with landscapers, construction contractors and public works departments," said Ed Harseim, North Central sales manager, HD Hyundai Construction Equipment North Americas.

Fred Rohlman, president of Kenney Machinery Corp., and one of three owners, including Mike Kenney, a fourth-generation member of the Kenney family, said the dealer-ship had very positive experiences with Hyundai equipment in their rental fleet.

"Hyundai makes good machines — very durable, with great workmanship. What clinched the fit for us, though, was their focus on uptime, evidenced by their industry-leading warranties."

Rohlman said Kenney is equally focused on uptime.

"I've heard some dealers say they sell their customers on the machines and keep them with their service. Our goal is to turn that on its head and sell customers on our white-glove service and keep them by consistently delivering high-quality machines that keep them productive," he said. "That's regardless of whether their business views equipment as an expense or a profit center."
