"We have had dedicated equipment specialists with Matt Wilson, vice president of paving equipment, and Keith Kimmerle, sales manager of material processing equipment, to help customers with their equipment needs. The creation of this new division, headed up by Jeremiah Lowe, will focus on the product support side of these products and will only further enhance our ability to provide our customers with state of the art paving and material processing solutions backed up by industry leading product support," said Michael Savastio, president and CEO.

"I am very excited about the new role as paving and material processing manager and the new opportunities that it will bring," Lowe said. "I feel that the creation of this new division will help Groff better service the customer by providing highly trained and focused technicians that can repair their machines in an efficient manner."

Working with Lowe will be six certified service technicians and one dedicated parts specialist. Supporting the division will be a telematics specialist, two dedicated product managers and 21 experienced sales professionals. Technicians and parts personnel will receive extensive training at their new training facilities in Mechanicsburg to support all major brands of paving and material processing equipment.
