Hyundai Construction Equipment Americas has added The G.W. Van Keppel Company to its dealer network.

Van Keppel will offer Hyundai equipment at its St. Louis location, which covers Eastern Missouri. With the addition of Van Keppel, Hyundai’s North American network includes over 70 dealerships operating in 150-plus locations.

Founded in 1926, Van Keppel provides equipment and services for construction, aggregate, quarry supply and materials handling industries in the midwest, and has locations in Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Texas, Iowa, Wisconsin and Colorado.

Ed Harseim, HCEA district manager-north central, calls Van Keppel “a good match for us,” particularly because of the firm’s knowledge of key industry segments such as construction and aggregates.
