GA Dealer Acquisition Creates Largest Deere Dealership In Southeast U.S.

Farm Equipment magazine reported that the long-in-the-works deal between Albany, GA-based Flint Equipment and Atlanta-based METRAC was recently completed. The deal, according to Flint President and CEO Chris Cannon has the “potential to increase Flint Equipment’s current market one and a half to two times.”

Cannon said most of METRAC’s employees were retained in the changeover to Flint holdings. With the purchase of the former METRAC locations, Flintco now controls Deere sales in most of Georgia. Under Cannon, Flintco has expanded to include holdings throughout Georgia and into Florida, Alabama, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and the Caribbean. But the company is not necessarily done expanding, according to the article.
