Doggett becomes Louisiana Wirtgen dealer

Effective Jan. 1, Houston-based Doggett Machinery Services became the official Wirtgen Group dealer in Louisiana. Doggett is the exclusive dealer for Wirtgen, Vogele, Hamm and Kleemann equipment, parts and service operating at the seven Doggett locations across the state in Alexandria, Baton Rouge, Broussard, Covington, Monroe, Shreveport and St. Rose.

John Deere, Moline, Illinois, completed the acquisition of the German-based road construction equipment manufacturer, Wirtgen Group, in 2017. The Wirtgen Group has five brands across the road construction sector including milling, processing, mixing, paving, compaction and rehabilitation.

“This new addition to our portfolio of top-tier products directly aligns with our current offering and gives us new opportunities in niche markets such as asphalt, crushing and soil stabilization,” Doggett Vice President of Operations Derek Paternostro says. “We will be able to sell, service and rent the full product offering through our Louisiana locations starting immediately.”

Doggett carries a variety of construction equipment, including excavators, dozers, wheel loaders, backhoes, articulated dump trucks, attachments and more.

“Providing the right solutions to our customers is our number one goal,” Senior Vice President of Doggett John Deere Mike Ortiz says. “Expanding our product offering to include the Wirtgen Group, our team can now provide the full package solution from the leading industry brands.”
