CHAMBERSBURG, Pa. – Forrester Farm Equipment Ltd., a agriculture, construction and outdoor power equipment dealer with 3 locations in Pennsylvania and Virginia, today announced that it has purchased majority stakes in AG-Industrial Inc. The acquisition includes 4 full-line New Holland agriculture dealerships located in Rising Sun, Md., New Holland and Tamaqua, Pa., and Dover, Del., strengthening the dealer’s capacity to deliver industry-leading equipment and unmatched support to customers.
This strategic, growth-defining move marks a significant milestone for both family-owned companies, uniting 7 locations across 4 states to cultivate a stronger, more scalable future together. Both founded in 1976, the acquisition builds on 100 years’ collective experience and lays the framework for expanded reach, diversified access to trusted brands and products, and the opportunity to leverage leadership and other efficiencies — ultimately reinforcing a shared commitment to integrity, innovation, and exceptional customer experiences.
“Both of our companies have built legacies rooted in trust, service, and hard work,” offered Forrester Farm Equipment President Cory Forrester. He continued, “We’re honoring that heritage while positioning ourselves – and our valued customers – for sustainable growth and long-term success. We welcome the AG-Industrial team and customers to the Forrester family and look forward to a bright future.”
Under Forrester Farm Equipment’s leadership, AG-Industrial will continue to operate under the same name, with the same dedicated team and commitment to customer satisfaction. All existing warranties, service agreements, and operations will remain intact to ensure a seamless experience for customers throughout the transition.
“Our goal has always been to ensure that AG-Industrial continues to grow and serve its customers with excellence,” said Terry Greenleaf, president for AG-Industrial, Inc. “Forrester Farm Equipment’s reputation for outstanding service and their deep understanding of the New Holland brand make them an ideal fit to carry AG-Industrial forward.”
AG-Industrial expressed appreciation for their previous parent company, emphasizing that this transition supports long-term strength within the New Holland dealer network and preserves the legacy of customer care that has defined both dealerships over the last 50 years.
