Dealer Spotlight: Hanson Industrial Inc.
For more than a half century, Hanson Industrial, Inc. has been a trusted equipment provider in the Quad Cities area. Providing high-level sales and service to customers and partnering with leading manufactures, Hanson Industrial prides itself in offering the highest quality and most durable equipment. The company is well known for their valuable experience, problem-solving skills and superior customer service.
Hanson Industrial was originally located in Kewanee, Illinois until eight years ago when the opportunity to tap into a larger market arose and the company moved to the
Quad Cities. Prior to owning the company, Bill Hanson worked with his father in the business formerly called R.G. Hanson Company. After owning Hanson Industrial for 40 years and building a remarkable support network which contributed to the company’s ongoing success, Bill decided to sell the company.
Greg Rothbardt, worked in the industrial and contractor supply business for
many years and wanted to own his own business. In February of 2015 Greg met with Bill Hanson and they began talking about the possibilities of a deal. They closed the deal a few months later and Greg became the new owner of Hanson Industrial, Inc.
Hanson Industrial has many years of experience working with customers to assist them with equipment and service needs. Their service technicians repair equipment in the company’s service center or in the eld if necessary. Although they are a small company, they do business with many large corporations including Mi-T-M.
“Mi-T-M is a great company to work with. They have great sales and technical support and everyone seems to have the ‘can do’ attitude which is a very important part of business,” states Greg.
Today, Hanson Industrial specializes in the sales and service of pressure washing equipment, water treatment systems, steam cleaning units, pumps, generators, air compressors, and wet/dry vacuums.
Greg’s plan is to expand current business by adding sales people and complementary lines of equipment. In addition to increasing the number of new customers, they intend to increase future business with existing clients and possibly tackle new markets and add an additional branch.
“I am proud to own Hanson Industrial and look forward to the opportunities to grow the business and become more successful, says Greg. Partnering with clients, reliable vendors, and great people here at Hanson Industrial will be the key to that success.”
“Hanson Industrial has formed a great customer base in and around the Quad Cities with all of their hard work and dedication over the years. We feel very fortunate to have a company like Hanson Industrial as our partner and we look forward to many more years of success!” states Karl Loeffelholz, Distributor Division Manager.
