Rexco Equipment, a local heavy and compact construction equipment dealer, has acquired JP Scherrman, Inc. (JPS) an equipment dealer in Farley, Iowa – effective close of business on September 30, 2022.
Rexco is excited to retain the company’s employees who possess a reputation of excellent customer service and product knowledge. A staff that will continue to partner with the current customer base on helping to maintain their equipment and grow their businesses.
Also, with this acquisition Rexco will be strengthening our commitment to being 100% employee owned. Our employee owners are committed to exceed customer expectations. As we grow our Rexco team, with Farley being our seventh location in Iowa, we will continue to provide solutions for our customers as their equipment partner. Our current Rexco locations include Cedar Rapids, Des Moines, Iowa City, Davenport, Burlington, and Sigourney.
Josh Bottelman, President / CEO of Rexco shared the following about the acquisition, “I am very pleased to be bringing the JPS customers and employees into the Rexco family. The alignment on our companies core values make us a great match. We are confident JPS customers will continue to receive the great customer service they are accustomed to. I am also excited to combine our product offering with JPS’s portfolio to enhance our customer’s experience.”
JPS was founded in 1919 with their original name being J. P. Scherrman’s Garage and Implements, Inc. They started as a repair service, later selling small gas engines and hardware items. In the 1940’s and 1950’s, they diversified becoming an International Harvester dealer along with an auto dealership, a gas station, wrecker service, tire sales, plumbing, heating and electric work along with selling appliances and TVs.
At its Farley location Rexco will continue to sell Bobcat, Kuhn, Kuhn Knight, Exmark and Supreme with the addition of Link-Belt Cranes, Bandit, Link-Belt Excavators, and Behnke Trailers.
Paul Scherrman believes Rexco Equipment will be an excellent match for his company’s values and products. JPS has always focused on customer service and continued customer support and Rexco will be focused on exceeding those expectations. “I look forward to the service Rexco will continue to provide our loyal customers and continue the relationships our employees have nurtured the past 103 years at JPS.”
Rexco is excited about the future growth at the Farley location and looks forward to continuing the relationships JPS has built. Rexco’s goal is to become a partner in solutions for customers in the surrounding area for their agricultural, compact and heavy equipment.
