Power Equipment Systems nets major expansion in Kohler Engines distribution territory through acquisition

This KDI diesel engine (KDI 3404) is representative of the engines that PES will now distribute.

Power Equipment Systems (PES), Salem, Oregon, has acquired distribution rights for Kohler Engines from H.G. Makelim, based in San Francisco.

The transition, effective March 1, coincides with the retirement of Jim Hess, president of H.G. Makelim.

PES has represented Kohler Engines in the states of Washington, Oregon, and northern Idaho for decades and now takes on additional distribution responsibilities for the manufacturer’s gasoline and diesel engines as well as service parts in Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, California, Hawaii, southern Idaho, and western Nebraska.

PES is the leading distributor of diesel and gas-powered engines in the Pacific Northwest. Its dealers have access to training programs conducted by expert technicians, including classroom and hands-on training, webinars, and latest product advancements.

“Having worked with PES for a long time, we anticipate an incredibly smooth transition and a seamless continuation of the passionate and attentive service they’ve always provided to our customers,” says Chris Rector, director of distribution sales and service for Kohler Engines.

“Of course, we also express our appreciation to H.G. Makelim – a trusted and dedicated partner that has worked very hard on behalf of Kohler Engines through the years.”

In September 2015, PES moved into 120,000 square feet of warehouse and office space in Salem, Oregon.

PES is a family-owned company that has represented Kohler since 2001. The company operates out of a newly constructed 120,000-square foot headquarters in Salem, Oregon.

PHOTOS: The Equipment and Crowds of Bauma 2019 (Part 2)

More than any other trade show on the planet, Bauma, hosted every three years in Munich, Germany, is a walking show. After spending nearly a whole week at this year’s show, I checked my Apple Watch activity stats and found that I averaged nearly 10 miles of walking each day at the show thanks to countless trips up and down the “expressway” that cuts through the Munich convention center’s 18-building layout and in and out of the gargantuan outdoor exhibition area. According to show managers, a record 620,000+ people from more than 200 countries visited this year’s show. Apart from the crowds this was the largest Bauma yet in sheer size with more than 3,700 exhibitors spread across 2.1 million square feet of indoor exhibit space and an additional 4.5 million square feet of outdoor space.

The John Deere construction and forestry equipment dealer has outgrown its 3.5-acre site in Naperville, Illinois, and is renovating two former auto dealerships on 11 acres in Lisle, where the Benck family started its business. The new site will allow the company to double its building space to 75,000 square feet over the current headquarters, once renovations are completed. Located at 3300 Ogden Avenue near Interstates 88 and 355, about 5 miles from the current site, it will not only consist of the corporate headquarters but will offer equipment sales and rentals, parts and service.
