“At Durante Equipment, we’ve always focused on providing our customers with the right machines and the best possible support after the sale,” said John Durante, president and CEO of Durante Equipment. “Takeuchi builds equipment that aligns perfectly with our values — it’s reliable, durable and engineered for the way contractors actually work. We’re proud to represent a brand that shares our commitment to quality and long-term customer relationships.”
Founded in 2019, Durante Equipment employs 36 people in two locations that serve contractors throughout South Florida’s Palm Beach, Broward and Miami-Dade counties.
