DUBUQUE, Iowa — McCoy Group, Inc., a family-owned company based in Dubuque, IA, is expanding its business base into Illinois with the purchase of another John Deere Construction and Forestry store located in Mitchell, Ill. from Erb Equipment Company of Illinois (“Erb”).

“This partnership is an outstanding opportunity for both Erb Equipment Company of Illinois’s Construction and Forestry customers and our valuable Construction and Forestry employees,” stated Stan Erb, President & CEO of Erb Equipment Company of Illinois. “The McCoy family has a remarkable track record with customers and employees dating all the way back to 1958. Both organizations are sure to benefit from the sharing of best practices, as two strong teams meld together to become one high-performing unit under the McCoy Construction & Forestry brand. Erb Equipment Company of Illinois will continue to operate its existing John Deere Agriculture and Turf dealerships and we look forward to partnering with the McCoy team to advance the John Deere brand in our respective markets.”
