“This partnership presents real benefits to both our customers and to Hercules Machinery as we are very excited about this exclusive partnership with HPM,” said Hercules Vice President Justin Reed. “This partnership allows us to expand our product offerings, create additional sales and service channels, and accelerate our growth in the foundation drilling equipment segment.”
