RITCHIE, SMARTEQUIP TO MAKE IRON PARTS PROCUREMENT EASIER
Teaming Up… Ritchie, SmartEquip to Make Iron Parts Procurement Easier
Ritchie Bros. announced that it has completed its acquisition of SmartEquip, a technology platform that supports customers’ management of the equipment lifecycle and integrates parts procurement with both OEMs and dealers.
“This acquisition expands our solution set and furthers our goal of providing the best customer experience as we transition from a traditional auctioneer to a global marketplace for insights, services, and transaction solutions,” said Ann Fandozzi, chief executive officer, Ritchie Bros.
SmartEquip is a multi-manufacturer platform that provides customers with real-time service and diagnostic support, dynamically customized, via serial number, to each asset in their fleet, as well as enabling the electronic procurement of parts from OEMs and their dealers.
The company supports approximately $1 billion in annual transaction volume with more than 600 OEM brands, on behalf of fleet locations across North America, Europe and the Asia Pacific. SmartEquip has 60 employees and will continue to operate as a standalone business and maintain its physical presence in Norwalk, Conn., for the foreseeable future.
“Ritchie Bros. is a perfect partner for us and our team is very excited to take the next growth step together,” said Bryan Rich, SmartEquip’s executive chairman. “Through Ritchie Bros.’ global customer base, this merger will accelerate SmartEquip’s ability to support its rapidly growing footprint across our joint global marketplaces and customer base. We can’t wait to get started.”
Under the terms of the transaction, Ritchie Bros. has acquired 100 percent of the equity of SmartEquip for approximately $175 million subject to adjustment.

HOETTE from page 108
the tractor magazines and blueprints his dad would bring home. In 2015, when Joe began transitioning into retirement, John took over operating the company.
In 2019, John brought his wife, Courtney, on as the company’s CFO. Together they have built Hoette Concrete into a more modern, efficient, transparent business while valuing and preserving the company’s strong culture. In this way, although many changes were made, the philosophy of Hoette Concrete has remained the same as it was in 1946: “Strive to be the best concrete contractor in the area and provide a good standard of living for all our employees.”
Supporting Joe since the ‘80s have been many dedicated, hardworking employees and family members. Much of his work force has been with the company for more than 25 years. Committed to their work and loyal to the Hoette name, these employees have proved themselves extremely skilled.
One exceptional individual is Les Hoette, who has been with the company for more than 51 years. He was able to advance the company’s profile by becoming the lead superintendent on projects involving Insulated Concrete Forms, as well as the major concrete work performed in the protected area of the Callaway Nuclear Plant.
Hoette Concrete’s expertise has made it a leader in large custom home concrete construction in the St. Louis area and wellknown in other parts of the country. Between its foundation and flatwork crews, Hoette Concrete has the technology, equipment and experienced manpower to handle any job from room additions to sidewalk and driveway replacements, from tall structural walls to large structural slabs.
Beyond its standing in the Greater St. Louis area, Hoette Concrete also has done many notable projects outside of the region, including work at the Callaway Nuclear Plant; a house foundation in Evansville, Ind.; and work in Columbia, and Lake of the Ozarks, Mo. Hoette Concrete has even done work as far away as St. Croix in the U.S. Virgin Islands, where numerous foundations and other flatwork projects were completed for the Captain Morgan Distillery.
John and Courtney have chosen to close Hoette Concrete’s doors on a high note and explore new projects and passions. Although at year’s end Hoette Concrete will be officially closed, its 75 years of quality, performance and reliability will be remembered in the St. Louis construction industry.
Much-Awaited Infrastructure Bill Finally Becomes Reality
INFRASTRUCTURE from page 116 Virginia
Approximately $7 billion will go to Virginia highways and more than $530 million to bridge replacement and repairs. Congresswoman Abigail Spanberger has a list of potential projects she’d like to see receive funding
Those Virginia-specific projects include train travel between Richmond and D.C.; expansion of I-95 express lanes; and work on the Mayo Bridge in Richmond, the victim of water damage.
Spanberger’s list also includes work on the I-95/Willis interchange in Chesterfield; making W. Broad Street safer for pedestrians in Henrico; and work on Route One in Chesterfield, Route 250 and Route 288 in Goochland, Route 208 in Louisa, Route 360 in Chesterfield and Amelia and Route 60 and Judes Ferry Road in Powhatan.
Washington
Washington Sen. Patty Murray announced that $1.79 billion has been designated in IIJA for transportation. SeattleTacoma International Airport is slated to receive $228 million while Snohomish County’s Paine Field will see $16 million and Boeing Field/King County International will expect $6.8 million.
The bill earmarks $71 million to expand EV charging networks; $39 million to protect against wildfires. In addition, $4.7 billion is set for federal-aid highway apportioned programs and $605 million for bridge replacement and repairs.
West Virginia
Sen. Joe Manchin announced that President Biden’s infrastructure bill designates about $3 billion to repair West Virginia roads and highways; $500 million is set for bridges; and about $40 million for West Virginia airports.
More than $300 million is earmarked for public transportation while $600 million will go to broadband access; more than $475 million for water and wastewater upgrades; $100 to $200 million to cap orphaned oil and gas wells; and $700 million for abandoned mine land reclamation.
Additional West Virginia-specific funding is designated to reinvigorate coal communities, including a new program to build clean energy on current and former mine lands. Grants for manufacturers to build or retrofit facilities to produce or recycle energy products in communities that have seen coal mines or plants close, is also in the bill.
Wisconsin
The IIJA designates $841 million to improve water infrastructure; $5.2 billion for federal-aid highway programs; and $225 million for bridge repair and replacement, according to Wisconsin Public Radio.
Plus, $592 million is set aside for public transit; $79 million to support EV charging stations; $20 million to protect against wildfires; $18 million to protect against cyberattacks; and $198 million for infrastructure development at airports.
Wyoming
Wyoming will see $110 billion for road and bridge projects; $66 billion for passenger and freight rail; $39 billion for public transit; and $25 billion for airports across the state.
Port infrastructure will receive $17 billion; transportation safety programs, $11 billion; electric vehicles, $7.5 billion; and revitalization of communities, $1 billion. Other infrastructure programs to benefit from Wyoming’s portion include broadband internet, $65 billion; power infrastructure, $73 billion; and clean drinking water, $55 billion
Resilience and Western water storage will receive $50 billion, while $21 billion will go to removal of pollution from water and soil, according to Big Horn Radio Network.
Puerto Rico
Puerto Rico is eligible to receive $1.7 billion as part of the IIJA designation. Approximately $900 million is earmarked to rebuild roads and highways and $225 million for bridge replacement and repair
The Weekly Journal reports that in addition to roads and bridges, $455 million is slated for improvements to Puerto Rico’s public transportation programs and $13.6 million to support the expansion of an EV charging network on the island.
Washington, D.C.
Washington, D.C., awaits $355 million to replace lead water lines; $1.1 billion for federal highways; $225 million for bridges; and $17 million to build EV chargers. Axios reports that the bill reauthorizes Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority funding, $150 million annually.
Included in the IIJA bill is $238 million for the Chesapeake Bay Program, a regional partnership to restore the bay and reduce pollution. CEG
