Hills Machinery opened its 13th location with its new full-service facility in Chesapeake, Virginia.
Chesapeake is Hills’ third location in Virginia following openings in Wise and Ashland. Ten other locations serve North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia.
The new Chesapeake location provides the full scale of Hills’ product and service offerings including new equipment sales, equipment rental, used equipment sales and equipment financial solutions. Among equipment brands served by Hills in Virginia include Hitachi Construction Equipment, Astec (including Roadtec and Carlson brands), Eagle Crusher, Mauldin, Rubble Master and Sakai.
“Virginia has a diverse and widespread demand for compact and heavy equipment sales, service and support – from traditional commercial and industrial construction to mining,” says Jim Hills, president of Hills Machinery. “We have an opportunity to deliver some of the most reliable and respected names in equipment to businesses here in the state, including top global earthmoving and roadbuilding brands like Hitachi and Astec. And we’re committed to the same level of service in Virginia that has made us a trusted partner to businesses throughout Georgia and the Carolinas.”
This expansion includes Hills’ continued commitment to customer uptime with 24/7 service through its PAE Group – a highly trained team of service professionals focused on critical equipment service issues in industries such as paving, crushing and grinding, according to the company.
“We have invested in the people and tools to put service, parts availability and uptime support front and center in every interaction with our customers, and business owners and fleet managers will experience that level of professionalism and service with Hills,” Hills says.
