Executives of Lawrence Equipment Inc., a Case Construction Equipment dealer, announced the expansion of the company’s operations with the opening of a facility in Suffolk, Va.

Located at 3750 Pruden Blvd., Suffolk, Va., the newest Lawrence Equipment facility encompasses 15,900 sq. ft. (1,477.2 sq m), on 13 acres with diagnostic and repair equipment. The new location will service customers in the Hampton Roads area. The Suffolk Branch will include the same product offering as all Lawrence Equipment locations such as new and used equipment, rental services, heavy hauling and in shop or over the road service.

According to David Hanger, president of Lawrence Equipment, the continued growth stems from the company’s longstanding tradition of helping customers succeed in the highly competitive construction industry.

“The construction industry always has ups and downs, but one constant is the passion we share at Lawrence Equipment to help customers grow their businesses and improve efficiencies, whether it’s providing them with the right machine or working with them to solve any number of challenges,” said Hanger. “The key to our success is helping customers win. As 100 percent employee-owned, we are devoted to providing our customers our signature high level of service. We’re extremely excited about our newest location and the opportunity it represents for our company and customers in the area.”

Headquartered in Roanoke Va., Lawrence Equipment now operates a total of five dealerships in Virginia. With operations in Roanoke, Ashland, Bridgewater, Suffolk and Waynesboro, and employing a total of fifty-five people, Lawrence Equipment provides its customers with quick service regardless of their location throughout the Commonwealth of Virginia.

Hanger said Lawrence Equipment plans to hire eight new employees as part of the expansion.
