:: RDO Brings McCloskey Screening Equipment to Midwest

RDO Equipment Co., based in Fargo, N.D., announced the formation of a new screening equipment division to represent the McCloskey International line of trommels, vibratory screens and stackers. The new division, RDO Screening Solutions, is headquartered at the RDO/Vermeer store in Burnsville, Minn.

RDO was welcomed into the McCloskey distributor network by Paschal McCloskey, president and founder of McCloskey International in Peterborough, Ontario, Canada. "We have been in conversations with RDO for some time now, and we're extremely pleased to finalize an arrangement that has the complete confidence of both organizations," McCloskey says.

Leading the launch of RDO Screening Solutions is Sales Manager Jeff Hermes. According to Hermes, news of the McCloskey line has been well received by regional screening system operators. RDO Screening Solutions will support McCloskey customers throughout its RDO and Vermeer store network in Minnesota, Wisconsin, North and South Dakota, Iowa and Nebraska. Building on RDO's past experience with agricultural and quarry operations, Hermes says that plans are in place to grow his sales and service organization as the customer base expands.
