Back when we first started out well over twenty years ago, we stocked a line of construction vehicles produced by Joal. I believe they have since went the way of the Dodo bird but I always thought there was a natural cross over from military-related products to construction vehicles, probably because many of the key vehicles found in both realms use tracks as a means of getting around in rough terrain. That said, I decided to begin stocking a line of construction vehicles produced by Diecast Masters, who many see as the leader in construction vehicle replicas. The line is quite extensive, focusing primarily on Caterpillar heavy equipment, but with our upcoming move to Florida, I will likely start to list each new item over the next couple of weeks then take delivery once we have settled in to our new location. Likewise, we will also carry their range of long haul cargo trucks, many of which are based upon some celebrated automotive names such as Kenworth and Peterbilt.
This expansion doesn’t mean we are straying away from our core military business. Far from it. Its just that with the global supply chain still in a bit of flux, and several manufacturers struggling to get finished product out the door, now seemed to be the time to look at new ways to grow our business by addressing certain natural synergies within the marketplace. Anyway, just thought I’d give you a heads-up regarding how we plan to add to our product portfolio in the months ahead and bring in some new customers who may be searching for a reliable dealer with over two decades in the business.
