John Deere completed the acquisition of the German-based road construction equipment manufacturer, Wirtgen Group, in 2017. The Wirtgen Group has five brands across the road construction sector spanning milling, processing, mixing, paving, compaction, and rehabilitation.
"This new addition to our portfolio of top tier products directly aligns with our current offering and gives us new opportunities in niche markets such as asphalt, crushing, and soil stabilization," said Derek Paternostro, Vice President of Operations at Doggett Machinery Services. "We will be able to sell, service, and rent the full product offering through our Louisiana locations starting immediately."
"Providing the right solutions to our customers is our No. 1 goal," said Mike Ortiz, Senior Vice President of Doggett John Deere. "Expanding our product offering to include the Wirtgen Group, our team can now provide the full package solution from the leading industry brands."
