Kensar Equipment Company offers used materials handling equipment nationwide, as well as new equipment, used equipment, parts, rentals and service to manufacturing, warehouse and distribution centres throughout Indiana.

"Our partnership positions Kensar Equipment as the leading supplier of materials handling equipment, automation and solutions throughout Indiana," says Jerry Weidmann, president of Wolter Group LLC. "We look forward to providing Indiana businesses even stronger solutions to streamline their materials handling operations and reduce cost."
