ATLANTA, GEORGIA, USA – August 13, 2013 – H-E Parts International, a global leader in the manufacturing, servicing and marketing of aftermarket parts and components for mining, crushing and heavy construction equipment, announces the acquisition of Seattle-based B&G Machine, Inc., one of the world’s leading independent high-horsepower diesel engine remanufacturers. From its 80,000 square foot state-of-the-art facility, B&G adds critical expertise, technologies and services to H-E Parts global aftermarket parts and support offering.

“B&G adds a unique and exceptional skillset to the H-E Parts family of companies,” says JP Richard, CEO and founder of H-E Parts. “I’ve followed the success of B&G for a long time and I am very proud to see them joining the ranks of H-E Parts. I believe they are key in helping our company deliver a comprehensive aftermarket parts and services solution to our customers.”

Michael Coffey, COO Americas H-E Parts, says, “Our customers have been asking H-E Parts for diesel remanufacturing services for years. The acquisition of B&G will result in a significant upgrade in the value we bring to our customers around the world.
