Hitachi Construction Machinery Americas Partners with Luby Equipment in Missouri and Illinois
Luby Equipment has officially announced a new partnership with Hitachi Construction Machinery Americas, expanding its equipment offering and service capabilities across Missouri and Illinois. As an authorized dealer, Luby Equipment will provide access to Hitachi excavators and construction equipment backed by full-service support, parts availability, and experienced technicians.
Luby Equipment has been named an authorized dealer for Hitachi Construction Machinery Americas, expanding access to Hitachi’s excavator lineup across Missouri and Illinois.
The partnership increases regional access to Hitachi’s equipment lineup at a time when infrastructure investment and private development activity continue across Missouri and Illinois. Contractors will now have expanded local access to sales, service, and parts support for the Hitachi brand.
“We are excited to represent a brand with a long history of innovation and performance in the earthmoving segment,” said David Kedney, executive vice president of Luby Equipment. “This partnership allows us to expand the equipment and support we provide to contractors across Missouri and Illinois.”
Luby Equipment selected Hitachi Construction Machinery Americas based on machine performance, long-term reliability, and alignment with the company’s service-first approach. The partnership strengthens Luby’s ability to support customers throughout the lifecycle of their equipment with responsive service, parts availability, and both in-house and on-site support to minimize downtime.
As Hitachi continues expanding its technology offerings, including telematics and automation systems, Luby Equipment will serve as the local partner responsible for delivering and supporting that equipment throughout Missouri and Illinois.
Additional details regarding equipment availability, demonstrations, and support offerings will be announced in the coming weeks.
Founded more than 50 years ago, Luby Equipment is a family-owned construction equipment dealer serving Missouri, Illinois, and Arkansas.
