// About Us
//Our Origins
Quality Equipment & Parts, Inc. was founded in 2001 by Randy McKenzie. The business began with an innovative approach: purchasing used forestry equipment destined for the junkyard and salvaging any usable parts. This not only kept Randy’s own logging operations afloat but also filled a vital niche for local loggers in need of hard-to-find components as well as expertise with these parts.
Randy quickly recognized a broader need within the industry, which led to the opening of our first store in Lake City, Florida. Over the years, utilizing sharp business acumen and an understanding of market demands, Quality Equipment & Parts, Inc. has become a foundational force in the forestry and land clearing sectors.
As our understanding of the industry deepened, we strategically expanded our inventory to include a variety of equipment brands. This diversity allowed us to better support local and regional markets, enhancing our role as a comprehensive supplier of forestry mulching, logging, tree care, recycling equipment, and compact construction equipment throughout Florida and surrounding states.
At the heart of our operations is Randy’s vision of not only maintaining robust business practices but also fostering sustainable industry practices. His forward-thinking leadership is demonstrated by the inclusion of his two sons in the business, ensuring the continuity of family values and dedication.
The involvement of Randy’s sons in Quality Equipment & Parts, Inc. anchors the company firmly as a family-run enterprise. They bring fresh perspectives while continuing the tradition of excellence, which is crucial as we navigate evolving market challenges and technological advancements.
Quality Equipment & Parts, Inc. remains committed to providing the highest quality of service and product offerings. We are poised to maintain our standing as a leading supplier in the Southeast USA, dedicated to innovation, customer satisfaction, and a proactive approach to industry changes.
Quality Equipment & Parts is more than a company; it’s a community, a family, and a pivotal resource for anyone in the forestry and land-clearing industries. Join us as we continue to pave the way for excellence and sustainability in our field.
