WALLENSTEIN – ESM Farm Equipment will be joining the Equipment Ontario family, ensuring the continued legacy of New Holland equipment in the greater Wallenstein area.
Since taking over the dealership in 2018, Ross and Scott Ruppert have been grateful for the opportunity to serve the Wallenstein community and for guidance provided by former owners Neil and Rick.
“When planning for the future, the Rupperts have thoughtfully considered the best path forward for customers, employees, and the New Holland brand,” officials state in a press release.
“With the full support of New Holland, partnering with Equipment Ontario felt like a natural fit,” state Ross and Scott. “Our families have worked closely for decades as friendly competitors, and we have long shared a strong working relationship.
“We are confident that Equipment Ontario will carry on the New Holland legacy with excellence.”
As part of this transition, Kevin Kraemer will assume the role of branch leader for the Wallenstein location, balancing responsibilities between Elmira and Wallenstein.
Ross will continue in a sales role until mid-2026, ensuring a smooth and stable transition for customers and staff.
