Applied Machinery Sales opens second location

Applied Machinery Sales (AMS), the importer and distributor of Merlo telehandlers in the U.S., has opened a second location in Olathe, KS in response to increased sales and rentals. The new location will offer the full line of Merlo telehandlers. 

“We have many end users and dealers in the Midwest, and on the West Coast, that will greatly benefit from this second AMS location,” said Garth McGillewie, AMS president. “Similar to our Rock Hill, SC headquarters, this location will provide direct sales, service, and assist with dealer inquiries.”

We look forward to meeting everyone.”
