Rankin Equipment Co., a trusted family-owned farm and construction equipment attachment distributor based in Washington State, proudly announces its acquisition of White's Inc., a respected equipment distributor headquartered in Houston, Texas.
Both Rankin Equipment and White's Inc. share deep roots in family business, each founded on generations of commitment to serving local farmers and construction professionals. Chris Rankin, the fifth-generation leader at Rankin Equipment, emphasized the natural fit between the two companies: "When we first met with White's Inc., it was clear how much our values aligned. Rankin Equipment was founded to support hardworking people with dependable, innovative tools. White’s has built their reputation the same way, and we’re honored to carry forward their legacy". Peggy White Strode added, "Since its inception in 1920, the White's Inc. name has meant integrity and quality in Texas and beyond. We are pleased with these core values, as well as our team, will continue on with the Rankin Equipment family".

"We're not just growing our business," said Chris Rankin. "We're strengthening our commitment to communities, providing reliable equipment that makes life easier for farmers and construction professionals. Our dealers can look forward to the same trusted relationships, now with Rankin Equipment’s proven range of high-quality equipment and attachments."
