Santana Equipment Trading Co., a leader in the used material handling equipment market, this week announced the opening of a new retail/rental space for its Arizona clientele.
Santana Equipment West Division (Phoenix) opened its doors in June of 2012 as the company’s first satellite location. After quickly becoming one of the top sellers of used forklifts in its local Phoenix market, the company recognized the need for another satellite office to serve the growing client needs in the East Valley of Arizona. The new space is near Superstition Freeway and S. Country Club Dr. A strong focus for this new location will be continuing the Santana Equipment business of selling quality forklifts, while also emphasizing rent and rent-to-own options.
Alex Stuckey, Santana Equipment’s West Division Manager, said, “We are very pleased and excited to announce the opening of another office in Arizona. With the successful move of our Chicago office into a much larger facility, we are now able to expand our Arizona business as well. With this year being our 20th anniversary it’s incredible to see the growth we have had, and this new location is the next step for us in making sure we are covering the growing needs of our customer base.”
