Linder opens new branch in Fort Myers, Fla., gets award from Genesis Attachments

Linder Industrial Machinery Company recently debuted its new 22,000-square-foot branch in Fort Myers, Fla., to customers, friends and family. Situated half a mile off I-75, the 10-acre property enables Linder sales, parts and service representatives to meet the growing demand for construction services throughout Central Florida.

Linder Vice President of Equipment Operations Gino Morin and Genesis Attachments' Mike Ganier present Linder CEO and President John Coughlin with an award from Genesis Attachments that recognizes Linder as one of its top five dealers for North America.

“Our new branch in Fort Myers will provide our customers with a premier experience, whether that’s through our parts, service or sales department,” said John Coughlin, the president and CEO of Linder. “Everything we built was with the customer in mind. We focused on creating a facility geared towards efficiency and speed to service our customers faster and limit downtime.”

The facility includes a 4,000-square-foot parts warehouse (double the size of the previous warehouse), eight drive-through service bays, a state-of-the-art wash facility, two 10-ton overhead cranes, and many other upgrades.

Employees from Komatsu America and Linder gather for the ribbon-cutting ceremony to officially open Linder’s new Fort Myers, Fla., branch.

“We’re able to service four to five times the number of customers and equipment compared to our previous location,” noted Coughlin. “We made it an emphasis to welcome as many of our customers, employees and their families to see the new facility at our open house in July. The feedback was all very positive.”
