Toyota dealer Hugg & Hall Equipment Company has formally acquired fellow Toyota dealer Southern Material Handling Company. 

Hugg & Hall is a leading industrial and construction equipment provider in Arkansas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Missouri and Texas. This acquisition will allow Hugg & Hall to expand its Toyota presence to include the entire state of Oklahoma. 

“We are very excited to add eastern Oklahoma to our Toyota territory,” says Robert Hall, vice president of Hugg & Hall Equipment Company. “Southern Material Handling has had an excellent reputation for many years. We will continue that passion for an unequalled customer experience. The addition of more products and services will add value to our customers, making them even more competitive in their unique industry.”

Hugg & Hall Equipment Company has represented the Toyota brand since 1994, expanding its territory most recently in 2019 to service customers in Louisiana. With its most recent acquisition, Hugg & Hall Equipment will now have a team of over 700 employees and 18 locations across Arkansas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Missouri and Texas.

“We wish Hugg & Hall the best of luck with this exciting business venture, and we’re excited to see what they can accomplish,” says Anne Ewing, Toyota Material Handling director of dealer development. “Hugg & Hall has been a proud Toyota dealer for nearly 30 years, and we look forward to continuing to strengthen our partnership in the future.”

Besides Toyota, the dealer carries equipment from Crown, Doosan, Taylor, Genie, JLG, Skyjack and Manitou.
