Santana Equipment Trading Company, a provider in the used material handling equipment market, has announced the opening of a new retail/rental location to better serve the Southeast region of the United States.
Santana Equipment started in Illinois in 1999. Over the years the company grew into a leader in the wholesale forklift market and the need to expand became more evident. In 2013, after moving into a larger complex in North Chicago, Santana’s second location opened in Arizona. Santana Equipment West quickly became one of the top sellers of used forklifts in the Phoenix market. With Chicago Headquarters covering the north, and the Arizona location out west, the need was recognized for another location to serve the Southeast region of the US.
After years of preparation and market research a warehouse was purchased in Pensacola, FL. The focus for this new location will be to continue the Santana Equipment business model of buying, selling, and renting quality new and used forklifts.
When asked about the new Florida office Alex Stuckey, Santana Equipment West’s Operating Manager, said “We are so excited to be opening this new location in Florida! We’ve wanted to expand to this area for some time and I’m so glad we have had this opportunity to do so.”
Seth Worthey, the Operating Manager of the new location added, “When I was researching where to move next, I saw that Pensacola is perfectly situated to serve all the surrounding markets. We will be able to provide our equipment to customers in Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, and every else in this region with ease.”
