Chadwick-BaRoss Inc. (CBR) announced it completed the acquisition of Kaz Equipment of South Windsor, Connecticut. The deal will result in the expansion of CBR's operations in the state of Connecticut, and provide CBR with its first location in the Greater Hartford Area. CBR also confirmed that it will be retaining all employees of Kaz in South Windsor as new members of the greater CBR team.

For more than 90 years, Chadwick-BaRoss has been a leader in the construction equipment sale and leasing industry across New England. The company sells and services more than a dozen of the top brands of heavy equipment through its eight branches for customers across New England.

"We are excited to see the Kaz Equipment team join the CBR family," said Jim Maxwell, President of Chadwick-BaRoss. "Kaz Equipment has been a respected name in the Greater Hartford region for the past 15 years and their team has done a tremendous job of building a great local business with a loyal customer base. We look forward to integrating them into our CBR family and learning from the knowledge and experience that they will bring to our operations."

The South Windsor branch will be CBR's 8th location in the Maine-based company's operations, which cover Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts.

"This acquisition is important for us," explained Maxwell. "CBR is a growing brand in our business, and the addition of a site in a major metropolitan area like Hartford fits with that growth strategy. We're very much looking forward to building on Kaz's great relationships in the region, and continuing to expand and represent the CBR brand throughout New England."
