Folcomer Equipment Corporation Earns Top North American Dealer Award


Folcomer Equipment Corporation, a leading construction equipment dealership with offices in Maryland and Delaware, was presented with the Top North American Dealer award by Takeuchi at last week’s CONEXPO trade show in Las Vegas, Nevada.

“We are thrilled to receive this award. Since adding the Takeuchi product line, our customers have been impressed with the quality of the machines, as well as the relatively low amount of maintenance required,” said Dave Folcomer, president and owner of Folcomer Equipment.

The award was based on wholegood sales, market share and compliance with manufacturer standards. There are approximately 200 dealers throughout North America, according to Takeuchi’s corporate office in Pendergrass, Georgia.

“We really owe this award to our customers. Without them, we couldn’t achieve this success,” said Amanda Haddaway, director of human resources and marketing for Folcomer Equipment.
