"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.
