Martin Equipment has opened a new 21,500-square-foot facility at 820 Thompson Way SW in Cedar Rapids, more than doubling the size of its previous Cedar Rapids location.
The John Deere Construction & Forestry dealer opened the facility Monday, Oct. 20. The new building is more than twice the size of the company’s former location at 2900 Sixth St. SW.
The facility includes a 60% increase in service bay capacity with overhead cranes for production-class equipment, full-service cylinder repair and custom hose-making capabilities. It also features a parts warehouse with more than three times the previous storage capacity and a showroom and customer reception area.
“This new state-of-the-art facility was designed with our customers in mind,” said 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.”
The Cedar Rapids location serves Benton, Iowa, Johnson, Keokuk, Linn, Poweshiek, Tama and Washington counties.
Martin Equipment plans to hold an open house in 2026 to coincide with the company’s 100-year partnership with John Deere.
The fourth-generation, family-owned company is headquartered in Goodfield, Illinois, and operates nine locations across Iowa, Illinois and Missouri. The company was founded in 1926 and employs 250 people.
