Volvo Construction Equipment
Volvo Construction Equipment recently honored Hoffman Equipment with its 2022 Dealer of the Year award.
Despite supply chain disruptions over the past few years, Volvo says Hoffman has maintained consistent market share and has grown its parts and service offerings. The third-generation family-owned company has six locations across New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
“In only four years as a Volvo CE dealer, Hoffman has gone above and beyond to serve a competitive market around New York,” said Stephen Roy, president of Region North America, Volvo CE. “They routinely host technical training events that include surrounding dealers and have implemented a lot of the efforts we feel best support customer success.”
Hoffman is especially focused on telematics and assistive software, technician training and customer service to help customers maximize productivity and uptime.
“We’re also impressed by Hoffman’s top-down engagement in the transition to more sustainable power,” said Roy. “They’re cultivating a new market by identifying early adopters and incorporating rentals to allow customers to get comfortable with the new machines.”
“We are extremely proud to be recognized for our efforts to provide exceptional service for our customers,” said President and CEO Tim Watters. “Our motto, ‘The Total Service Company,’ was established nearly 100 years ago and we continue to measure ourselves by this standard. This award from Volvo confirms that our hard work is paying off, and I am so proud of our team and all they achieve.”

“We’re very honored to receive this award from Takeuchi once again,” said Randy Harris, president of Feenaughty Machinery, citing Parker’s efforts being a factor in their achievements in 2022. “Receiving this kind of an award assures us that we’re continuing to do the right things as an equipment dealer, and we hope to enjoy even greater success with Takeuchi in the future,” Harris noted.
Parker has been a territory sales manager with Feenaughty Machinery since 2008. “I’m very honored to receive Takeuchi’s Top Dealer Salesperson Award,” he said. “I’ve been a part of the Feenaughty Machinery family for a long time, and I honestly enjoy what I do here.”
Parker noted that working with the customers inspires him and he has a passion for helping them discover easier, better ways to get the job done.
Feenaughty Machinery Co. dates to 1901 when founder and Irish immigrant William Orlando Feenaughty moved from New York to Portland planning to work in the timber industry. Rather than get into the industry, he started his own machinery company, selling different types of equipment before filling a niche in the construction and forestry industries. More than a century later, the company remains a family-owned business, still priding itself on maintaining excellent customer relationships and providing exceptional service.
“The team at Feenaughty Machinery has served generations of customers throughout the Pacific Northwest,” said Shay Klusmeyer, Takeuchi’s Western Region divisional sales manager. “While the equipment industry continues to evolve, Feenaughty Machinery maintains a strong dedication to honesty and integrity that keeps their current customers coming back and brings new customers in the door.”
