Cadiz, Ohio – DRP Truck & Equipment has recently been appointed as a full-line HD Hyundai Construction Equipment dealer, enhancing its offerings to customers in Eastern Ohio. The new dealership will serve multiple counties, including Harrison, Tuscarawas, Jefferson, Belmont, Guernsey, Coshocton, Holmes, Stark, Carroll, and Columbiana, through its locations in Cadiz and New Philadelphia.
This strategic partnership with Hyundai comes as a significant growth step for DRP, which has been in business since 1993. Originally founded as Dino Piergallini and Sons Equipment Inc., the company began by focusing on small agricultural products. By the early 2000s, it transitioned into compact rentals, marking a key shift in its operational focus.
Following the death of founder Dino Piergallini in 2013, his sons, Mario and Giovanni Piergallini, took over the leadership of the company, with Mario serving as president and Giovanni as vice president. Under their guidance, DRP has evolved into a full-scale, multi-location sales, service, and rental operation that now caters to a variety of markets, including construction, energy, civil engineering, demolition, and agriculture.
As part of its new role as a Hyundai dealer, DRP will provide a comprehensive lineup of Hyundai construction equipment. This includes excavators, wheel loaders, articulated dump trucks, skid steer and compact track loaders, crawler dozers, and hydraulic breakers. Additionally, the dealership will offer complementary lines such as agricultural tractors, crawler carriers, and various attachments and support equipment.
The demand for Hyundai equipment, particularly wheel loaders, is noted to be strong in the region, which further emphasizes the timeliness of this partnership. Rich Desmond, district manager for Hyundai, acknowledged the capabilities of DRP’s facilities and their commitment to customer support, highlighting the importance of minimizing equipment downtime for their clients.
DRP is well-equipped to meet customer needs, operating multiple service and retail locations along with a fleet of fully equipped field service trucks staffed by factory-trained technicians. This infrastructure is designed to ensure customers receive not only high-quality equipment but also robust support throughout their experience with the dealership.
Giovanni Piergallini has outlined that DRP’s mission extends beyond merely selling and renting equipment. The company aims to assist its clients in achieving their goals and succeeding in their respective industries. The partnership with Hyundai aligns well with DRP’s vision for the future, focused on delivering quality machines and incorporating innovative technology to meet the needs of their customer base.
With the appointment as an HD Hyundai Construction Equipment dealer, DRP Truck & Equipment is set to redefine construction equipment access in Eastern Ohio, providing essential tools that enhance productivity and efficiency in various sectors.
