Martin Equipment, a fourth-generation, family-owned John Deere Construction & Forestry dealer, has completed construction on its brand-new facility in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Located at 820 Thompson Way SW, the expanded location will officially open Monday, Oct. 20, and is set to deliver greater capacity, faster service and a better customer experience across Eastern Iowa.
The 21,500-square-foot building more than doubles the size of the previous 2900 6th St SW location and is purpose-built to meet the demands of modern construction fleets. With a 60% increase in service bay capacity, including overhead cranes for production-class equipment, full-service cylinder repair and custom hose-making capabilities, the new space is engineered for efficiency and up-time.
“This new state-of-the-art facility was designed with our customers in mind,” says DeLene Martin Bane, president of Martin Equipment. “From the layout to the tools and technology, every element supports faster service, greater efficiency and a better experience for equipment owners and operators across the Eastern Iowa region.”
Inside, the facility features a state-of-the-art service center staffed by factory-trained technicians, a spacious parts warehouse with more than three times the previous storage capacity and a modern showroom and customer reception area designed for comfort and convenience.
Martin Equipment’s Cedar Rapids location serves Benton, Iowa, Johnson, Keokuk, Linn, Poweshiek, Tama and Washington counties.
An open house event is planned for 2026 to coincide with Martin Equipment’s 100-year partnership with John Deere. Customers and community members will have the opportunity to tour the new space, meet the team and learn more about expanded capabilities. Additional events will be shared in the coming months.
