Kirby-Smith Machinery hosted an open house at its new Hewitt, Texas, location on Oct. 14, 2025. The event marked the company's 14th branch and drew a strong turnout of customers, manufacturers and local partners from across the region.
The new facility represents the company's growing commitment to serving contractors throughout central Texas, offering equipment from manufacturers, including Komatsu, Wirtgen and Takeuchi. The Hewitt branch provides sales, rental, parts and service capabilities designed to better support customers in Waco, Temple, Killeen and the surrounding areas.
"This location is truly built from the ground up to handle the needs of our customers," said Richard Graves, sales and operations manager of the Hewitt branch. "We have the team, the space and the equipment to keep contractors up and running every day."
The Hewitt facility spans more than 10 acres of yard space and includes a large demo area where customers can operate machines firsthand under real-world conditions. The new service shop is equipped with multiple overhead cranes, giving technicians the ability to perform complete rebuilds on any size equipment. The previous Waco-area branch had just 1.5 acres of yard space, making the move a major upgrade in capacity, efficiency and customer accessibility.
Kirby-Smith's service operation runs 24/7, with a dedicated after-hours hotline connecting customers directly to on-call technicians. The Hewitt branch operates a fleet of 15 service trucks that cover central Texas, providing reliable field service support to job sites of all sizes.
From preventive maintenance to emergency repairs, the new location allows Kirby-Smith to respond faster and handle a wider range of service needs than ever before.
The Hewitt branch open house featured vendor displays, equipment demonstrations and a full BBQ lunch service for attendees. Guests toured the new facility, viewed several machines up close and had the opportunity to meet directly with product experts and factory representatives.
The event highlighted Kirby-Smith Machinery's continued investment in customer support and its long-standing reputation as a trusted partner to contractors across Texas. CEG
