Santana Equipment Trading Company, one of the fastest growing companies in the material handling industry, is celebrating its 20 years in business.

Since the company opened in 1999, Santana has provided customers with quality used equipment. Santana began its business with a focus solely on wholesale equipment. Since then, it has grown into one of the most recognized businesses in the industry.

Today, it serves the wholesale, retail and rental industry. As it continues to grow, company officials hope to continue expanding into different markets and all across the United States.

Santana Equipment Trading Co. recently announced plans to move its Gurnee headquarters to a much more substantial location in the North Chicago-Land area, located at 2740 Cable Place, North Chicago, IL. This 1.5-acre location will consist of spacious offices and a significantly bigger warehouse to support its growth for the next several years.

It will have contemporary offices, a mechanic shop, a showroom and numerous other amenities enabling Santana Equipment to bring the highest quality service. The new mechanic shop will serve as the major key for growth since it will allow the space for faster production and extensive inventory. The warehouse will be able to accommodate twice as much equipment as the current Gurnee warehouse is able to accommodate. This will serve as an increase in inventory and a very extensive rental fleet. This new 1.5-acre location will also feature three loading docks which will serve as a resource for shipping inventory quicker and receiving equipment in higher quantities. Santana Equipment Trading expects to be in its new location by the end of summer.

“This move will really allow us to exceed and reach our potential as a business. Inventory and production will have a huge increase. We’re excited to see what’s to come for the future,” said Nate Service, Vice President and Partner.
