The company will expand its material handling business nationwide, creating a new and separate division that will deliver tailored solutions and aftersales support to customers from coast to coast.
REGINA — The Brandt Group of Companies has announced a major expansion to its material handling equipment dealer network in a move that is hoping to generate $500 million in new revenue and up to 300 new jobs over the next three years.
The company’s acquisition of Cervus Equipment in 2021 included material handling operations from Alberta through Manitoba. Brandt announces its intentions to deepen and expand its commitment to the material handling industry in Canada. The company will expand its material handling business nationwide, creating a new and separate division that will deliver tailored solutions and aftersales support to customers from coast to coast.
“We believe that the material handling sector is primed for growth and in need of a nationwide alternative to the existing patchwork of small dealer groups,” said Shaun Semple, CEO of Brandt. “That is why we’re using the lessons we have learned from growing the agriculture, construction & forestry, and transportation pillars of our business to create a fourth pillar to serve the material handling industry.”
As part of this expansion, Brandt plans to grow its network of material handling focused stores into new territories focused on delivering premium forklift brands backed by a dedicated rental fleet, a parts network and dedicated service network focused on repair work and preventative maintenance.
