Yanmar Compact Equipment North America and National Equipment Dealers Expand Dealer Partnership Across the Southeast

Six additional National Equipment Dealers locations strengthen customer access to Yanmar equipment, expertise and support across Georgia and Florida

GRAND RAPIDS, Minn. – September 24, 2026 – Yanmar Compact Equipment North America today announced the expansion of its established dealer partnership with National Equipment Dealers (NED) to six additional locations in Georgia and Florida. The new Yanmar locations are Dallas, Macon and Douglas, Georgia, and Apopka, Tampa and Jacksonville, Florida.

The expansion grows Yanmar’s dealer network, with NED, from eight to 14 locations across four states. The six additional locations join NED’s existing Yanmar Compact Equipment locations in Fletcher, Charlotte and Grimesland, North Carolina; Wellford, Conway, Columbia and Summerville, South Carolina; and Fort Pierce, Florida.

Together, the 14 locations provide customers throughout the Southeast with broader access to Yanmar compact equipment, parts, service and product expertise.

The expanded footprint strengthens Yanmar’s ability to serve contractors, rental operations, municipalities and equipment owners across Georgia and Florida with local access to premium compact equipment backed by experienced sales, parts and service teams.

“Growth matters, but how we grow matters more,” said Anna Christine Sgro, President, Yanmar Compact Equipment North America. “We expand with partners who have demonstrated the performance, capability, commitment and local leadership to represent Yanmar at the highest level. NED has demonstrated that across its existing Yanmar locations. Extending our partnership into these six additional branches combines Yanmar’s premium compact equipment with NED’s experienced teams, deep market knowledge and established customer relationships. Together, we are creating broader customer access, stronger local support and a foundation for sustainable growth across the Southeast.”

At each of the six additional NED locations, customers now have access to Yanmar’s portfolio of compact excavators, compact track loaders, compact wheel loaders and tracked carriers, supported by local sales, parts and service teams. The expanded footprint provides customers with more convenient access to equipment and knowledgeable support throughout the equipment ownership lifecycle.

Drawing on more than 30 years of industry experience across its legacy companies, National Equipment Dealers has built its business around equipment sales, rentals, parts, service and customer support. Operating under one unified name, NED combines the capabilities of established regional dealerships with experienced local teams and deep market knowledge.

“At NED, our goal is to build long-term relationships by helping our customers operate more productively and profitably,” said Jesse Beasley, President, National Equipment Dealers. “Yanmar’s premium compact equipment strengthens our ability to deliver the right solutions, backed by the expert advice and dependable local support our customers expect. By creating value well beyond the initial sale, we earn trust and work toward our mission of being the first choice for our customers and equipment partners.”

The expansion reflects Yanmar Compact Equipment North America’s disciplined approach to dealer network development: strengthening coverage in markets where customer opportunity exists and partnering with established dealers that demonstrate the performance, market knowledge, operational capability and customer focus required to represent the Yanmar brand.

By expanding its relationship with NED, Yanmar is strengthening its presence across the Southeast while giving customers greater local access to the equipment, expertise and support they need throughout the lifecycle of their machines.
