H&E Equipment Services recently hosted a grand opening of its newly renovated Albuquerque, N.M., location, inviting customers, vendors, employees and neighboring businesses. The new Albuquerque branch is an 18,600 square-foot facility on more than two acres of land in Albuquerque’s north valley area. The store is a full-service location, providing rentals, sales of new and used equipment, parts, service and training.

Guests included Albuquerque mayor Martin Chavez and a local radio talk show host. Attendees enjoyed a facility tour, equipment demos, meetings with factory representatives and a Southwestern-style buffet. Exhibits showcased equipment from Grove, National, Skytrak, JLG, Gehl, Genie, Allmand Brothers, Atlas Copco and more.

“We believe we have found the ideal site for our growing business,” said branch manager Roger Sargeant. “The larger size and prime location of our new facility will allow us to take care of customers’ needs faster and more efficiently.”

Based in Baton Rouge, La., H&E is No. 10 on the RER 100, with 41 branches throughout the Gulf Coast, Intermountain, Southwest and Northwest.
