Atlantic & Southern Equipment – Southeast US
July 17, 2018 (Lake City, GA) – Atlantic & Southern Equipment, LLC, a company whose roots stretch into both agriculture and construction equipment, has become the latest Apache Sprayers dealer in the United States serving farmers and chemical applicators in four states stretching from Alabama to the Atlantic coast.
“Atlantic & Southern Equipment is a dealer we are proud to align ourselves with because of their strong presence in the Southeast and their emphasis on serving their customers with the best products,” said Equipment Technologies CEO Matt Hays. “Our partnership is going to help serve farmers with the unique products that they need, and they share our desire to provide industry-leading service to their customers.”
Atlantic & Southern Equipment, LLC, originally started selling construction equipment in 2001 and is in its eighth year offering agricultural customers, offering combines, tractors, tillage equipment and other implements in eight locations from Birmingham, Alabama to Goldsboro, North Carolina.
“We have got the best parts and service departments in the business. I would put them up against anybody. The reason Atlantic & Southern has been successful is because of those folks,” said Ben Land, General Manager of Ag Sales. “At our core, service is the most important thing. We have good sales people, but we get a lot of opportunities because we place such a high priority on service, just like our customers.”
Partnering with Apache Sprayers is a good fit for Atlantic & Southern, LLC, for another reason, Land said. As other manufacturers transition away from smaller sprayers, Apache Sprayers offers machines that are in high demand in the Southeast.
“Apache Sprayers are the right size, and just get the job done,” Land said. “Our customers want an efficient machine that will perform, and that is what Apache Sprayers offer. It’s a good fit for our customer base.”

Canada West Harvest Centre – Saskatchewan
June 21, 2018 (Emerald Park, SK) – Canada West Harvest Centre has become the newest Apache Sprayer dealer in Western Canada. The four-year-old dealership network with locations in Regina, Saskatoon, Swift Current and Yorkton will provide sales and service to most of Saskatchewan.
This partnership marks the convergence of two like-minded companies serving crop producers in a familiar geography for Apache Sprayers. For the Indiana-based manufacturer, it’s the chance to serve farmers for whom chemical applications are a major part of successful production.
“We are very excited to bring Canada West Harvest Centre into our network of respected, service-oriented dealers,” said Equipment Technologies CEO Matt Hays. “In its short tenure, Canada West has demonstrated a strong commitment to service. We are confident our partnership will deliver industry-leading machines and service to the region’s crop producers and sprayer operators. It’s a great opportunity for us to partner with a dealer who shares our drive to deliver effective, efficient machines to help farmers achieve success.”
Founded in August 2014, Canada West Harvest Centre has established four locations in their network with 50 staff members and “tremendous customer acceptance,” said general manager Doug Tibben. “That growth has been paced by two major priorities: having the best products and delivering the highest level of service to the customer.”
“The culture we’re ingraining in our whole team is to enable them to feel empowered and make decisions to look after customers in a timely manner, and produce a strong customer support system,” Tibben said. “We align with the best manufacturers out there and deliver a product that will help producers cut costs and improve efficiencies. We are absolutely committed to giving the best possible support and go above and beyond what our customers need. Apache Sprayers offer the competitiveness and all the advantages our customers are looking for. They fit our model perfectly.”
Canada West’s customer base comprises mixed farming and grain producers, with many operating more than 10,000 acres. It’s a progressive-minded customer base, too, another way that the dealership meshes well with Apache Sprayers.
“We put forth huge effort to make sure we make the customer happy 100 percent of the time. At the end of the day, we work harder than anybody else,” Tibben said. “The more I’ve gotten to know the people with Apache Sprayers, the more I’ve been blown away by their dedication and commitment to the farmer. That feeling comes out of the whole company.”
