Eis Implement, a third-generation, family-owned John Deere dealership serving the Manitowoc area since 1946 and the 2024 Farm Equipment Dealership of the Year, announced it is being acquired by Riesterer & Schnell, another family-owned John Deere dealership with deep roots in Wisconsin since 1931. This partnership brings together two longstanding leaders in agricultural, residential and commercial equipment solutions, further strengthening their commitment to customers, employees, and communities.

Chris and Jon Eis, the current owners of Eis Implement, shared their perspective on this transition:

"Our focus has always been on treating our customers and employees the way we would want to be treated. This philosophy has built lasting relationships and fostered a loyal and hardworking team. We are confident that Riesterer & Schnell, with their similar values and dedication to Wisconsin communities, is the perfect fit to continue and enhance what we’ve built over the years."

Riesterer & Schnell, a third-generation, family-owned business, has been a trusted name in Wisconsin for over 90 years. Known for their progressive approach and dedication to customer service, Riesterer & Schnell is committed to carrying forward Eis Implement’s tradition of excellence while expanding opportunities for growth and innovation.

Tom Vande Corput, CEO of Riesterer & Schnell, added:

"We are appreciative of the opportunity to expand our footprint in the Manitowoc and Kewaunee Counties. "This is a great opportunity to now work alongside their team to ensure a seamless transition and together offer a high level of customer support."

The acquisition marks a significant step forward for both organizations, ensuring that local farmers, landowners, and businesses continue to have access to industry-leading John Deere products and services backed by a legacy of integrity and excellence.
