Versatile Merlos backed by sterling support

Anyone driving along Great Eastern Highway in the Perth suburb of Redcliffe can't miss it: a veritable smorgasbord of the latest releases from various leading brands, on full display in the yards of McIntosh & Son.

One of WA's biggest machinery dealers, the company was established in the agricultural town of Wongan Hills in 1955, growing to be a leading Australian dealership group specialising in agricultural, construction and grounds care machinery, incorporating sales, finance, service and parts.

With 11 dealerships strategically located across WA and one in Dalby, Queensland, McIntosh & Son provides a complete solution for the market - comprising new and used machinery sales, precision farming, finance solutions, spare parts, and qualified mobile field and workshop service.

General Manager Mike Foskett said McIntosh & Son's aim was to build a continuously improving stable of products and services to help customers achieve their productivity and financial objectives.

"In turn, this will drive our business and create opportunities for employee growth, resulting in recognition both as an industry employer and an equipment supplier of choice," he said.

The Perth branch has an enviable rolling stock of machinery to cater for customer needs, and currently focuses on construction and grounds care equipment, supporting a portfolio of 11 machinery brands, including Merlo, New Holland, CASE Construction Equipment, LiuGong, Jacobsen and Redexim.

These are in addition to a long line of consumables that the branch supplies via its parts department that include STEDI, GME radios, Omicron and SafeStyle.

Mike said the Merlos were definitely a standout, and not just for the iconic bright green colours.
