Volvo Construction Equipment (Volvo CE) has named Colorado-based Power Equipment Company its 2025 Dealer of the Year. The distinction was announced at the Volvo CE annual dealer meeting, which took place at CONEXPO-CON/AGG last month.

The award is given the dealership team that exemplifies the Volvo brand and consistently demonstrates high performance in service offerings, customer uptime and share performance.

In 2025, Power Equipment Co. made an investment in the future with a new 52,000-square-foot headquarters in Brighton, Colo., featuring 17 service bays and a dedicated training facility. Power also implemented a centralized field service dispatch center to improve response times and minimize customer downtime.

“The Power Equipment Company team has committed to and invested in people and technology that ensure their customers get the right machine, right services and right advice every time,” said Scott Young, head of region North America, Volvo CE. “As a partner to Volvo CE, they're helping set the standard for how a dealership can drive long-term value through a customer-focused approach and deep-rooted expertise.”

That commitment translated into outstanding 2025 results, as Power Equipment Co. achieved significant growth in machine sales and rental fleet capacity. The company is celebrating its 90th year in business and has partnered with Volvo CE for 40 years, supporting customers through seven locations across Colorado and New Mexico.

“This comes down to our people, plain and simple,” said Mark Kuhn, vice president of construction sales, Power Equipment Co. “We do not chase awards. We show up, do the work, and stand behind our customers when it counts. “This is the result of a team that is driven to deliver.”
