Toro recently announced the expansion of a trusted equipment dealer, C&O Equipment Co. The dealer's new location will offer Toro's full line of products including directional drills, ride-on trenchers, concrete and masonry equipment, compact utility equipment, walk-behind trenchers and Toro genuine parts.

C&O Equipment Co. was founded in 1998 by Lance Clayton and has been serving the Greater Dallas/Fort Worth area. In 2000, C&O established its first physical location in Keller, Texas, selling and renting a variety of products. Since that time, C&O has relocated to Alvarado, Texas, and has just recently opened its newest location in Houston.

“Our customers rely on us to provide quality equipment and service, and we're looking forward to being the premiere provider of trusted Toro equipment in the Houston area,” said Jody Clayton, president of C&O Equipment and son of founder Lance Clayton. “Simply put, our partnership with Toro allows us to provide the best equipment solutions for our customers.”

C&O strives to offer quality and affordable specialty construction equipment to a variety of customers. Much like Toro, C&O Equipment Co. values hard work, trusted relationships and reliable equipment. With its new location in Houston, C&O is able to serve a broader customer base with a number of Toro products.

“We want to congratulate C&O Equipment on the expansion of their organization,” said Butch Greeninger, director of sales of The Toro Co. “The growth of their business is in part, a direct result of their dedication to their customers. We're pleased to be part of the C&O story.”
