Lockwood Manufacturing has expanded its sales and service reach for customers in the Columbia Basin of Washington and Oregon. Collaborating with Double L, Larry Benzel will represent both companies as the area’s regional salesman.
“Lockwood and Double L enjoy a great working relationship, and we are proud to work with Double L to better serve the potato growers of the Columbia Basin,” says Dan Birrenkott, president of Crary Industries and Lockwood Manufacturing.
Benzel brings with him over 40 years of industry experience in Washington State, most of those years with Evergreen Implement. As a teenager, Benzel first worked on Lockwood equipment for his father, who worked for Lockwood.
“The entire Double L family welcomes Larry Benzel to the team,” says Chris Hunsaker, president of Double L. “We’re looking forward to our collaboration with Lockwood to offer an experienced sales representative for potato growers in the entire region.”
“I feel I have a lot to offer our growers in the Basin with all my history and experience in the industry,” says Benzel. “Being able to combine that experience with great brands like Lockwood and Double L means we have a bright future.”
