“Morris Equipment will help strengthen our global distributor network by signing on as our first dealer in the Dakotas,” Patrick Brian, global sales and marketing director, said in a press release. “Powerscreen now has more than 120 distributors across the world to deliver excellent customer support; committed to getting you the right parts the first time and providing experienced field engineers should you need them.”

Morris Equipment says it will offer its customers comprehensive sales coverage and customer support in all of North and South Dakota.

“We are very excited about appointing our first distributor in North and South Dakota,” said Tyler Trowbridge, North American dealer manager for Powerscreen. “The region has great potential and we’re confident that Morris Equipment will fit well in our already strong global distributor network in North America. With Morris Equipment’s experience, knowledge and customer focus, they will be an excellent distributor going forward to deliver growth and support for our customers’ requirements.”

A remanufactured plant provides the producer with a great return on investment because, far from being a “used” plant, it is completely torn down and rebuilt to perform like new or better.  At the company’s 100,000 sq. ft. operations facility, JW Jones’ equipment experts disassemble each machine down to its individual components, which are assessed for quality, specification and continued life, and are either rebuilt or replaced if necessary. Reconditioning includes new electrical, hydraulic and lube system components; new paint; and new chassis and support structures for portable plants.

Once the plant has been completely remanufactured, it is fully tested prior to sale or delivery. Many refurbished plants perform better than they did as new equipment because these older machines are reconditioned with new technology and engineering improvements that have come about since their original manufacture. The combination of the older, yet better built equipment, with the latest technology often provides productivity and efficiency that can’t be purchased new today. A JW Jones warranty is available on most rebuilt plants.

JW Jones’ field service technicians oversee installation, startup and complete operational and maintenance training for customers who purchase a refurbished plant or have their existing plants rebuilt by the company. Parts and wear components are also available through the company, which provides full service to its customers around the world.

The move by U.S. owner Terex Corp., the latest in a series of initiatives designed to better serve its customers and bolster continued growth, follows a review of its operations and means that all products and services bearing the Terex Pegson name and image will now carry the Powerscreen brand. Crushers will also be instantly recognized by their new coating in ‘Powerscreen green.’ 

Pat Brian, Powerscreen global sales director, said: “This new branding strategy accurately reflects our business and our people — unified, progressive, dynamic, and fired-up. It also forms the basis of a key strategic plan designed to deliver the best for our customers, dealers, and staff.”

 As an additional initiative, the Pegson name will be used on product descriptions. For example, the XH250 Impactor Crusher will now be known as the Powerscreen Pegson XH250 Impactor Crusher.
