Located in the heart of Nappanee, Indiana, Equipment Service began manufacturing aftermarket parts for Harvestore silo unloaders more than 30 years ago. Ross Yoder started Stresco Machine, Inc. in 1989 with one other employee. He then purchased Equipment Service, Inc. in 1999 and merged the two businesses under the umbrella of The Stresco Group, Inc.

At the time, Equipment Service had a small network of dealers and a small portion of replacement parts for Harvestore unloaders. Today we’re proud to have grown to include more than 50 dealers across the globe and provide hundreds of replacement parts for several models of Harvestore® unloaders.

We moved into our new building in 2004, allowing us to expand our product line to virtually every replacement part for the Hercules® through the Alliance® unloader models.

Nearly half of our staff has been with the company over a decade. Our seasoned technicians bring a wealth of knowledge and experience in machining, welding, fabricating, R&D and more.

Through two moves and one building expansion, Equipment Service has remained in the same 5-mile strip throughout the last 35 years. Because of this, we’ve been able to maintain a positive relationship with our local community as well as with our dealer network which values our extensive knowledge of the parts and processes they require.
