Westcon joins the JCB stable

Westcon JCB, headquartered in Regina, Saskatchewan, is the newest addition to JCB's growing North American dealer network. The new dealer will sell, rent and service JCB equipment from branches in Regina and Saskatoon, Saskatchewan and Winnipeg, Manitoba.

"Westcon is continually looking for new product lines, and we are pleased to now represent JCB construction products in Saskatchewan and Manitoba," said Brian Brown, president and CEO of Westcon Equipment. "We plan to build the business on the basis of our tried-and-true formula of customer service and customer relationships."

Westcon Equipment has sold and serviced heavy equipment in South Central Canada since 2004. The new Westcon JCB will initially carry JCB backhoes, excavators, skid steers, compact track loaders, telescopic handlers, wheel loaders, aerial work platforms and rough-terrain forklifts.

Westcon JCB will also sell and service two new JCB machines that have attracted much attention since their launch at ConExpo 2017 - the Teleskid, the first skid steer with a telescopic boom, and the Hydradig wheeled excavator/tool carrier. Used equipment acquired via trade-ins and rental fleet sales is also available.

"With a reputation for outstanding customer service and integrity, Westcon Equipment is the ideal partner to help JCB grow its marketshare throughout Saskatchewan and Manitoba," says Christian Baillie, JCB North America's vice president of construction equipment dealer sales.

"Since entering the equipment sales and rental market more than a decade ago, Westcon has continued to grow and develop a loyal customer base. We look forward to working with them and helping their customers discover how JCB machines can improve productivity and profitability."
