Terex Fuchs Honors Company Wrench as Top Distributor

Terex Construction Americas , based in Southaven, Miss., has recognized Company Wrench Ltd., Carroll, Ohio, as the top distributor of Terex Fuchs material handlers for 2011.

While Company Wrench says it has been one of Terex Fuchs’s top distributors for several years, this is the first time Company Wrench has been selected to receive the # 1 Terex Fuchs equipment distributor award. The company was selected for its continued growth with the material handler line, top sales performance and superior service support of the customer.

“Starting with Brad Hutchinson (owner of Company Wrench) and carrying through to the sales and service personnel, the entire Company Wrench team is passionate beyond belief about ensuring the customer’s success,” says Dean Barley, general manager of Terex Construction Americas. “It’s rewarding to work with a distributor like Company Wrench, whose philosophy and dedication to the customer is in line with our commitment to the success of the customer.”

Accepting the Terex Fuchs award were Hutchinson; Gary Gleckler, president; Scott Carpenter, CFO; and Cam Gabbard, vice president.

“It’s an honor to have our team’s dedication to the Terex Fuchs line recognized with this number one distributor award,” says Hutchinson. “With our focus on the scrap and demolition industries, the Terex Fuchs line was a natural fit to our equipment offering. As a result, the relationship has allowed us to offer more solutions for our customers and has resulted in a huge infusion of growth for our company.”

Company Wrench began 13 years ago when Hutchinson started a truck, trailer and equipment shop in Fairfield County, Ohio. At the time, the company offered 24-hour, seven-day-a-week wrecker and recovery service.
In 2002 Company Wrench turned its focus to the demolition market, representing a line of specialty hydraulic attachments.

In 2005, Terex Construction Americas began its relationship with Company Wrench, which provided local sales and service support for Terex Fuchs scrap and recycling customers in Ohio. This gave Company Wrench a full line of purpose-built material handlers designed for the scrap, recycling and demolition markets. According to Terex, Company Wrench quickly became a top-performing distributor for its material handling line.

“We took the same philosophy of 24-7 repair services demanded by the customer in the heavy wrecker business and adapted it to the scrap business for the Terex Fuchs line,” comments Gleckler. “We also offer a buy-back program as part of our support package.”

“The biggest cost is when a company’s equipment is down, and we make sure we have a service technician to the jobsite the same day we receive the call,” adds Gabbard. “If a customer is in a remote location, we’ll fly the service personnel to the jobsite on our own plane to ensure the customer is up and running as quickly as possible.”

Company Wrench has grown from one to 12 locations in six years.

The #1 Terex Fuchs equipment distributor award was presented to Company Wrench officials by Terex Construction Americas representatives Dean Barley, Chris Koch and Kristy Jennings in a ceremony held on May 1, 2012 at Company Wrench’s headquarters.

Joining Terex Construction Americas and Company Wrench officials were local and state dignitaries, including representatives from the offices of Governor John Kasich and Congressman Steve Austria of Ohio’s 7th District.

Company Wrench offers sales and service support for Terex Fuchs throughout the Midwest and South. “This is a well-deserved honor for Company Wrench,” says Chris Koch, divisional sales manager for Terex Construction Americas. “They are a top-notch organization and one of our most dedicated distributors, not only to the product line but, more importantly, to the customer. We congratulate them on their success.”
