In 2017, John Deere acquired the Wirtgen Group, headquartered in Germany. The Wirtgen Group has four premium brands; Wirtgen, Vögele, Hamm, and Kleemann across the entire road construction sector spanning milling, processing, mixing, paving, compaction, and rehabilitation. The Wirtgen Group’s product portfolio enhances John Deere’s existing construction equipment offering.
In the immediate future, United’s Westbrook, Herman, and Houlton, Maine construction and forestry locations will deploy a focused team dedicated exclusively to the sales and support of the Wirtgen Group products and operate a parts and service technician hub. This team of Wirtgen Group specialists includes industry and product experts as well as technicians and parts personnel.
“Everyone at United is absolutely delighted to represent and be able to expand and offer Wirtgen Group products to our customers in Maine," said Mark Kuhn, President of United Construction & Forestry. "The Wirtgen Group’s superb reputation of market-leading products and their legacy of technology and innovation has helped many customers succeed in the road construction industry. We at United take pride in this opportunity and will make sure this success continues with our dedicated support teams, as it has in our Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Vermont markets.”
