John Hewlett, the principal of Hewlett Equipment, has a long history of over 40 years in the compact machinery business. He is widely regarded and a very knowledgeable figure in the industry, so it was no small thing when he decided to end his association with Thomas Skid Steers and Nagano Excavators and commit his company to the Wacker Neuson brand of machines.
Target Acquired
Andy Evans, Wacker Neuson’s Managing Director, was delighted when John agreed to come on board:
“Prior to bringing the machines into Australia we did a massive amount of market research and Hewlett
Equipment was on the top of my list of potential main dealers. Their key branch locations of Brisbane,
Newcastle, Sydney and Melbourne, backed up by the extensive industry experience of John Hewlett and
his team, made them an ideal fit in my eyes”. Andy added, “The fact that Hewlett Equipment are a family
run business also sat well with the core values of Wacker Neuson, so I’m convinced that we are a
partnership that will prosper as better times return to the market”.
Impressive machines
John Hewlett was equally convinced: “We first saw these machines on the internet and via brochures and
we were impressed but when we saw them in the metal… they are superb. They’re strong, well
engineered, beautifully built and for once a manufacturer has thought about servicing. On that point
they’re unbeatable”. John and his team didn’t make the decision to join Wacker Neuson solely on the
basis of the quality of the machines. “We personally liked the machines but for me just as importantly, the
people at Wacker Neuson are terrific to deal with”, he added. “Everything we’ve asked for they’ve
supplied and we’re looking forward to a long and happy association”.
Full range
Hewlett Equipment will carry a full range of Wacker Neuson excavators and skid steers, as well as a
range of their light equipment machines, at all of the company’s branches.
