The Schoffman’s acquisition consists of one Case IH agriculture dealership located in Redwood Falls, Minn. The ABC Rental acquisition consists of four rental equipment locations in Missoula, Bozeman, and Big Sky, Mont.; and Williston, N.D. The locations in Missoula, Williston and Bozeman have consolidated with the Titan Machinery existing Case CE dealerships in their respective markets, leveraging the synergies of both companies.

Schoffman’s Inc., which began operations in 1895, is a fourth-generation dealership strategically located in the fertile Minnesota River Valley and is contiguous to Titan Machinery's Marshall Dealership. In its most recently reported fiscal year ended Jan. 31, Schoffman's generated revenues of approximately $16 million.

In business for more than 40 years, ABC Rental is one of the leading rental equipment companies in Montana. It is well-positioned to benefit from the increased activity of the surrounding oil, coal and natural gas exploration and extraction in Montana, North and South Dakota as well as Wyoming. In its most recently reported fiscal year ended Dec. 31, ABC Rental generated revenues of $5.5 million.
