About Luby Equipment
Luby Equipment traces its beginnings to 1977 when Bob Luby seized the opportunity to become an owner of Machine Maintenance and Equipment Company. He had begun his career in heavy equipment sales and had experience in everything from cranes to excavators. Initially, the company focused on maintaining and repairing heavy industrial equipment and has grown to include three divisions that sell and service equipment—the construction division, the oilfield division and the power generation division.
Construction Equipment
The construction division has expanded through acquisitions and branch additions. The first acquisition was the Bistate Machinery, the Fiat Allis dealer, in 1989. Three years later, Luby purchased Case Power & Equipment in St. Louis and Cape Girardeau, MO, and branch openings in Illinois followed in Quincy, Springfield, and Caseyville. Today, there are five locations in the construction equipment division.
Oilfields
The beginnings of the oilfield division emerged when the company became a dealer for Ingersoll-Rand water well drills, down hole hammers and bits, and high-pressure compressors. Initially, they focused on servicing the water well industry, but with the explosive growth in the oil and gas industry, Luby naturally increased their involvement with oil and gas drilling activities. There are now three locations that supply equipment, parts and service, including renting compressor packages with operators, hammer and bit sales and rental, other equipment rental including wheel loaders, excavators, long reach fork lifts, man lifts, and other equipment in Arkansas, Oklahoma, and West Virginia.
Power Generation
The power generation division was launched in 2005 when Generac approached Luby Equipment to represent the line in their markets. Although it wasn't obvious how standby generators fit into their product groupings at the time, a few ice storms increased the demand for the equipment dramatically, and Luby realized generators need service and parts, just like their other equipment lines. The company services all sorts of customers, from homeowners to the largest cell phone providers with maintenance contracts.
Our Family Business
Bob's sons, Tim and Steve, grew up in the family business, spending summers helping out in the parts department. Today, both still have their feet firmly planted in Luby Equipment. Tim and Steve are part of senior management in the sales department. Like most successful family businesses, Luby Equipment has a loyal group of employees who have been with the company for many years. They all strive to satisfy customers 100% of the time. The motto they all embrace is, "Equipment is our product. Service is our business."
