John Deere dealer Dobbs Equipment has completed the acquisition of Flint Equipment.

The move expands Dobbs footprint in the Southeast, adding 18 stores in Alabama, Georgia and South Carolina.

"The addition of new territory is another milestone for all of us," said Dobbs Equipment CEO Adam Tschetter.

"This acquisition will allow us to better serve our new and existing customers with superior equipment availability, more used equipment options and best-in-class sales and parts support. In addition, we will be the logical choice for customers seeking to do work locally or throughout the southeast United States."

Southwest Material Handling, the parent company of Southwest JCB, has acquired ProCon JCB.

ProCon locations will be rebranded as Southwest JCB and will be managed by former ProCon CEO and owner Nic DiPaulo. Southwest JCB will now operate branches in Commerce City, Colorado; Phoenix, Arizona; Las Cruces, New Mexico; El Paso, Texas; and Las Vegas, Nevada.

The acquisition expands Southwest JCB's reach into four, high-growth western markets, the company says.

"ProCon JCB is an award-winning dealer known for providing great customer service and we look forward to continuing that tradition."
