ELWOOD, IL — Representatives from HD Hyundai Construction Equipment North America recently joined Hardings Inc. for the opening of its new location in Elwood, Illinois, which expands its sales and service area for Hyundai construction equipment from its original location in Lowell, Indiana, covering northwestern Indiana, to serve customers across Chicagoland.  

The new location, in Chicago’s southwest suburbs, offers the full line of Hyundai construction equipment, from compact excavators, compact loaders, and crawler dozers to wheel loaders, excavators, articulated dump trucks, as well as specialty material handlers and hydraulic breakers.

“We have known since my family opened this business in 1916 that our main objective is to help lower our customers' costs per hour,” said Clarence Harding, President and Owner, Hardings Inc. “We work to achieve this by offering the best value in new equipment, rentals, parts, and service. When that happens, we both win. That’s why Hyundai machines have been an excellent fit for us and our customers. Hyundai equipment is very reliable, and we know that, together, Hardings and Hyundai are doing everything we can to ensure we keep our customers in solid equipment, with top-caliber support.”

“We are happy Chicago-area customers have the support of a strong, growing dealership in Hardings Inc., which just celebrated 20 years as a Hyundai dealer," said Ed Harseim, North Central District Manager, HD Hyundai Construction Equipment North America. "Their new location in Elwood offers a full-sized shop, with Hyundai-trained technicians working in a well-appointed maintenance bay, as well as a well-stocked parts department, and a fleet of service vehicles.”

Harding noted that the pace of growth in the collar counties around Chicago has been rapid in recent years.
