"Luby is excited about expanding our services to more customers with the same commitment that our current customers have come to rely upon."

The acquisition will strengthen Luby's position as an equipment leader in key industries, including construction, aggregates and forestry, as well as expand upon its market leadership in key growth areas such as equipment rental and standby power generation.

Luby Equipment Services operates out of its headquarters in Fenton, Mo., and seven other branch locations. It serves customers' equipment needs with a variety of new, used and rental equipment.
