National Equipment Dealers (NED) has acquired family-owned L&N Supply in Dallas, Georgia.
L&N was established in 1990 by Jimmie Brian Long, and represents brands such as Manitou and Mustang, as does NED. Its culture, equipment expertise, location, and leadership team were found to be a good match with NED as it sought to expand its footprint in the southeastern United States, according to the company.
“L&N was the right partner for NED for many reasons, including their company heritage and values,” said Will Blackerby, VP of fleet, NED, in a prepared statement. “They have been in business for over 32 years. You don’t stay in business that long unless you are doing something right, and ultimately that boils down to taking care of your customers.”
L&N Supply will become NED’s 15th location across five states. Zach Long will continue to work with NED as the general manager for the Atlanta market.
“L & N Supply flourished over the years because we remained committed to important principles like safety, integrity, quality, and value for our customers,” said Long in a statement. “We look forward to continuing this commitment as we move ahead with NED.”
