From a scrappy startup in 1984, founded by four previous General Diesel employees, General Equipment & Supplies, Inc. has become a powerhouse with over 300 employees and nine locations across the U.S. and two in Canada under their sister company, General Aggregate Equipment Sales. They dominate in construction, aggregate, mining, and more recently agriculture, boasting the unique ability to service any make or model of equipment. Their reach extends from North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, and Iowa, to specialized projects in neighboring states, and other countries and continents.
What sets General Equipment apart is their unwavering commitment to their customers’ long-term success.
They take the time to understand and respond to their needs with a laser focus on flexibility and ease of doing business. For four decades, they’ve earned a reputation for trustworthiness and doing the right thing. T
he work culture at General Equipment is anything but boring. They’re a close-knit crew that loves to mix in play. Think water balloon fights, Dilly Bar Fridays, Easter egg hunts, cornhole tournaments, and more. They back that up with annual employee sponsorship dollars for community involvement, from fishing leagues to car racing to supporting nonprofits that are important to their employees.
On the tech front, their in-house trainers are top-tier, keeping technicians sharp on the latest innovations in equipment. Leadership development is ongoing, with quarterly feedback sessions and the continuation of the Customer Experience Philosophy that has provided great insights toward improvement.
Partnering with local colleges since 2016, they’ve graduated 53 diesel tech students, retaining over 77% as employees. With a goal to graduate another 30 in the next two years, General Equipment is building a solid future for their employees, customers, and manufacturers, while staying true to their roots of work, play, and excellence.
