NEWS RELEASE – September 15, 2022
On September 15th, 2022, National Equipment Dealers, LLC [NED] finalized its acquisition of L & N Supply Company, a family-owned heavy equipment distributor located near Atlanta in Dallas,
Georgia.
L & N Supply Company earned a strong reputation for servicing customers throughout Georgia over the past 32 plus years. Established in 1990 by Jimmie Brian Long, L & N Supply Company Inc. began as a distributor of ground engaging tools and undercarriage components. Over the years the company grew to represent several major heavy equipment manufacturers, some of which are also represented by NED like Manitou, Mustang, Werk Brau, & Connect Work Tools.
As NED continued to seek out new strategic growth opportunities throughout the southeastern United States, L & N Supply Company’s culture, equipment expertise, location, and leadership team were found to be a good match for the company’s expansion.
“L & N was the right partner for NED for many reasons, including their company heritage and values. They have been in business for over 32 years. You don’t stay in business that long unless you are doing something right, and ultimately that boils down to taking care of your customers,” said Will Blackerby, VP of Fleet, NED, LLC.
L & N Supply Company will become NED’s fifteenth location across a five-state footprint. Zach Long, Brian’s son, was just an infant when the company began. Today, as the company
becomes a new NED branch, Zach Long will continue to work with NED as the general manager for the Atlanta market.
“L & N Supply flourished over the years because we remained committed to important principles like safety, integrity, quality, and value for our customers. We look forward to continuing this commitment as we move ahead with NED,” said Zach Long, General Manager Atlanta, NED, LLC.
