CHESAPEAKE, VA — Hills Machinery has opened its 13th location with its new full-service facility in Chesapeake, Virginia. Chesapeake is the third location in Hills’ expansion into Virginia following its growth 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. Brands of equipment served by Hills in Virginia include Hitachi Construction Equipment, Astec (including Roadtec and Carlson brands), Eagle Crusher, Mauldin, RubbleMaster, 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,” Hills Machinery President Jim Hills said. “We have an opportunity to deliver some of the most reliable and respected names in equipment to businesses here in the state. ... 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 24/7 service through its PAE Group, a highly trained team of service professionals focused on critical equipment service issues in industries known to be particularly harsh on equipment, such as paving, crushing, and grinding.
