Hyundai Construction Equipment Americas has added the G.W. Van Keppel Company of St. Louis to its dealer network to represent Hyundai equipment in eastern Missouri.

The G.W. Van Keppel Company, founded in 1926, bills itself as a leading provider of equipment and services for construction, aggregate, quarry supply, and material handling industries in the Midwest.

With the addition of this new dealership, Hyundai’s North American network now includes over 70 dealerships operating in more than 150 locations, offering sales, service, and parts for the full line of Hyundai excavators, wheel loaders, compaction rollers and other construction equipment.

“I am very excited to have a dealer with the experience, expertise and customer support capabilities that Van Keppel provides representing our product in the surrounding St. Louis market area including Eastern Missouri,” says Ed Harseim, HCEA District Manager-North Central.

“Van Keppel’s knowledge of key industry segments such as construction and aggregate, combined with Hyundai’s industry-leading excavator and wheel loader products, is a good match for us.”

Hyundai sales, service and parts teams deliver regular product and service training to ensure dealer partners are able to provide top-caliber support to meet the growing business needs of Hyundai Construction Equipment customers.
