Sept. 2, 2009 – Ammann Switzerland has partnered with Williamson Equipment in Edmonton, Alb., to establish a Canadian parts warehouse for Ammann compaction equipment.
Contractors and equipment dealers will now have a Canadian-based source of service and repair parts for Ammann compaction equipment. Peter Price, the Ammann Area Sales Manager in Canada, announced that Swiss-based Ammann Machines Division has entered into a cooperative agreement with its Alberta distributor, Williamson Equipment, to operate a service parts warehouse at Williamson’s Edmonton location.

The warehouse operation officially opened on July 1 this year with more than 500,000 service and repair parts in stock. New staff and a computerized inventory system are in place to manage orders and stocking levels.
“We are very pleased to have this facility up and running,” Price says, “so we can serve our Canadian dealer network and their customers in a more timely, professional manner.”
With the opening of the Edmonton facility, Canadian customers will no longer have to order parts directly from Ammann in Switzerland. All Canadian parts orders were referred to the Edmonton warehouse after July 31, 2009. Parts from all four Ammann factories will be consolidated in the Canadian location, eliminating the time and expense of overseas freight. All parts orders are priced in Canadian currency and shipped FOB Edmonton. “Eliminating the time zone difference from Europe will be a great convenience here,” Price says. “Our Edmonton staff will be fully versed in our products and local inventories, so customers can get knowledgeable parts support quickly.”
The warehouse will provide wholesale parts to Ammann dealers throughout Canada and to former customers of Ammann America. The Williamson facility will also provide direct retail service for parts to users of Ammann equipment in Alberta and the United States.
