ARMOR EQUIPMENT EXPANDS MIDWEST PRESENCE WITH ACQUISITION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EQUIPMENT & SERVICES
ELKO, MN - Armor Equipment, a leader in environmental equipment solutions, is proud to announce the acquisition of Environmental Equipment & Services, based in Elko, Minnesota. The acquisition, effective January 31, 2026, significantly expands Armor’s footprint across Minnesota, Wisconsin, North Dakota, and South Dakota. The partnership brings together two powerhouses in the industry. Both Armor and Environmental Equipment & Services have served as authorized Tymco dealers for over 30 years. Environmental Equipment & Services has built a prestigious reputation by focusing exclusively on the Tymco product line, establishing themselves as the undisputed market leader in their region. Beyond new equipment sales, Environmental Equipment & Services brings specialized expertise in refurbishing and distributing used sweepers nationwide. Armor intends to leverage this unique technical proficiency to enhance service offerings across its entire expanded territory.
"We are thrilled to welcome the Environmental Equipment & Services team into the Armor Equipment family," said Tripp Manheimer, President of Armor Equipment. "As a top-tier Tymco dealer for decades, their commitment to excellence aligns perfectly with our culture and core values. We look forward to integrating their deep expertise in refurbishing and specialized service across our footprint as we continue to scale the Environmental Products Group of MH Logistics."
To ensure a seamless transition for their loyal customer base, the company will continue to operate under the Environmental Equipment & Services name for the immediate future, with a planned transition to the Armor brand later this year.
