Indianapolis Branch Expansion
Expanding the Indianapolis branch
Brandeis Machinery & Supply Company sees large growth in Indianapolis and upgrades facility to meet demand
Brandeis Machinery & Supply Company is making significant strides with the expansion of its Indianapolis branch, reflecting the company’s commitment to meeting the growing demands of its customers. The upgrades, which began in 2021, have nearly doubled the shop’s capacity and enhanced its ability to service a broader range of heavy machinery.
“We’ve seen tremendous growth in market share over the past few years, and our eight-bay shop was becoming very cramped,” said Trevor Thielbar, Regional Operations Manager, Brandeis Machinery. “To keep up with the increasing number of field and shop technicians, we needed more space to efficiently service our customers’ expanding fleets.”
The recent expansion includes the addition of 10 new service bays and an increase of over 12,000 square feet in the shop area. These developments enable Brandeis Machinery to accommodate larger machinery, such as full-size HD605 trucks.
“We increased the hook height on our cranes significantly to handle these bigger machines, ensuring our technicians can work safely and effectively,” elaborated Thielbar.
Along with the shop expansion, Brandeis Machinery has also invested in a new parts warehouse and recently added another 2,200 square feet to support its growing inventory.
“With the number of line items increasing, this expansion was crucial for us to maintain quick turnaround times for our customers,” Thielbar explained.
Brandeis Machinery Regional Sales Manager Jacob Hopper emphasized the importance of these upgrades for customer service.
“This expansion is the best move we’ve made in a long time,” noted Hopper. “It allows us to support our customers from the smallest to the largest machines, keeping downtime to a minimum.”
The branch now boasts a total of 28 service bays, including those dedicated to Certified Rental equipment, making it the largest servicing branch within Bramco’s footprint. Bramco is the parent company of Brandeis Machinery.
“This significant investment reflects Brandeis Machinery’s commitment to fully encompassing every aspect of our customers’ needs in one facility,” Hopper concluded.
These upgrades, including enhanced parking and a new technician training facility, ensure that Brandeis Machinery is well equipped to continue delivering high-quality service to its expanding customer base in Indianapolis and beyond. ■
