Feenaughty Machinery Opens Washington Branch, to Sell Develon Machinery
Feenaughty Machinery, based in Portland, Ore., is opening a store in Woodinville, Wash., the company’s third, to serve the Seattle market.
The Woodinville location is authorized to sell Develon articulated dump trucks, wheel loaders, log loaders, dozers, crawler, wheel and mini-excavators.
“We’re pleased to enhance our dealer support to customers in the Pacific Northwest with the addition of the Feenaughty Machinery location near Seattle,” said Todd Roecker, vice president of growth initiatives, Develon. “This region has traditionally been very strong for Develon products, particularly log loaders, and we plan to grow our presence in the region with the help of Feenaughty Machinery and its employees.”
In 2011, Feenaughty Machinery expanded its offerings by adding the Doosan (now Develon) line of heavy construction equipment, broadening its range of products to better serve the needs of its customers.
The company operates a location in Eugene, Ore., which opened in 2016. Recently, the company completed construction on a state-of-the-art drive-through steel shop equipped with bridge cranes.
All three Feenaughtly Machinery dealerships are conveniently located near the Develon parts distribution center in Lacey, Wash.
