EquipmentShare Opens First Branch in Oregon

EquipmentShare last month opened a new branch in Redmond, Ore., which, the company said, is the first of 10 planned branches in Oregon. 

“Oregon has a long tradition of building things that last, from its infrastructure and communities to its culture of innovation,” said Jabbok Schlacks, co-founder and CEO of EquipmentShare. “Our growth here reflects that same spirit. We’re investing in the people and projects that keep Oregon moving forward, bringing our connected jobsite technology and world-class service to help contractors build safer, smarter and more efficiently across the state.”

Held at EquipmentShare’s new facility in the Redmond area, the grand opening ceremony featured remarks from the Oregon Department of Economic Development and EquipmentShare leadership. During the ceremony, company leaders highlighted EquipmentShare's long-term commitment to making jobsites safer and more efficient through next generation technology.

“Redmond Economic Development Inc. is excited to welcome EquipmentShare to the Redmond community,” said Steve Curley, director of REDI. “Their commitment to the Redmond and Central Oregon markets validates the growth we are seeing both in industrial development as well as the residential sector.”

The new Oregon locations will deliver a full suite of solutions across Core, Advanced and Tooling. Every asset connects through the proprietary T3 platform for real-time visibility and utilization insights, backed by on-site support to keep projects safe and on schedule. The company's offerings include:
•    Core Solutions: For day-to-day work, including modern earthmoving, aerial, compaction and material-handling equipment.
•    Advanced Solutions: For complex projects, providing engineered pump, power, and climate-control packages, as well as storm response support.
•    Tooling Solutions: For specialized needs, supplying calibrated torque, welding tools and industrial supplies for mechanical, electrical and industrial crews.

“From the coast to the high desert, Oregon crews need reliable gear that shows up ready to work,” said Redmond Core Solutions general manager Joe Hudak. “Our core solutions fleet brings modern earthmoving, aerial, compaction and material handling equipment to every kind of jobsite. With T3 visibility and fast field service, we help contractors cut downtime, improve safety and keep projects on schedule.”

“Oregon takes on complex work in industry, infrastructure and technology,” said Redmond advanced solutions general manager Rourke Ketchum. “Our advanced solutions team designs engineered pump, power, and climate control packages that stand up to shutdowns, emergency response and precision-environment needs. Connected through T3, we deliver the uptime, control and data that contractors need to finish critical work with confidence.”

Supporting the community
EquipmentShare is committed to giving back to the communities it serves. The company said it will allocate $2,500 in revenue annually from each of its Oregon locations to support local nonprofits. During the ribbon-cutting ceremony, the company announced that a portion of the Oregon funding will be donated to the Ronald McDonald House.

“We are deeply grateful to EquipmentShare for their generous $2,000 gift to Ronald McDonald House Oregon and for joining our community of caring partners. Your support helps provide comfort, compassion and a home away from home for families with seriously ill children receiving medical care right here in Oregon,” said Penny Whipps, director of development for Ronald McDonald House Charities of Oregon and southwest Washington.
