RDO opens multi-million-dollar dealership in Adelaide
New 15,000sqm site replaces old dealership in WingfieldLeading John Deere construction and forestry equipment dealership, RDO Equipment, has officially opened its new multi-million-dollar South Australian dealership this week, signalling its commitment to the industry and customers across the state.
The new premises, which will also be offering Vermeer equipment, will have 5500 line items across both its John Deere and Vermeer brands, plus increased workshop and warehouse capacity with 14 work bays across the 15,000sqm site.
RDO Equipment CEO, Phil Canning, says the new facility reflects the growth of the company’s customer base in the south and their need for more extensive service, sales and parts support from the business.
“Our South Australian footprint is experiencing strong growth thanks to the infrastructure investment in the region from both state and federal governments and population growth,” he said.
“We knew we needed to match that demand with a new, state-of-the-art facility that caters for more machines, more parts, and more staff to support our growing customer base in the south.
“The new facility signals our commitment to the vital sectors that contribute millions to our local and national economy – construction, forestry, mining, environmental, tree services and the building industry. This will be backed up by our qualified, factory-trained technical staff to support our full product range.”
With a larger footprint in the region, RDO Equipment will also be looking to boost training and development for staff, and is actively recruiting skilled tradespeople to join the team.
“We know skilled labour is an issue across many industries at the moment, so we are putting a big focus across all of our branches on developing our apprentices, and attracting new staff,” Canning added.
“There aren’t many dealerships where you get to learn on such a vast range of equipment and industry sectors.
“The new site has great exposure as it is situated on a major road having thousands of vehicles pass by daily, and is in a central location for not only prospective employees, but close to our other supply chain partners in the area.”
RDO Equipment’s new South Australian branch is located at 23-25 Matthews Road, Gepps Cross.
