Vimar Equipment Names New Heil Refuse Distributor
Covering British Columbia and the Yukon

Heil Environmental has named Vimar Equipment, Ltd., of Burnaby, British Columbia, its authorized distributor for British Columbia and the Yukon. As a Heil distributor, Vimar now offers refuse haulers in the region a full line of Heil front loader, rear loader, recycling and automated refuse collection vehicles, as well as replacement parts from Parts Central, a Heil company. The firm also carries a wide range of other trucks and equipment, including sewer cleaners, street sweepers, ice resurfacers, TV inspection equipment and asphalt equipment.

Vimar is a family-owned company established in 1975 with a focus on "honesty, integrity and service." In addition to new and used equipment, Vimar carries an extensive inventory of OEM replacement parts. A large service facility is staffed with factory-trained technicians who are committed to getting vehicles back on the road as quickly as possible. The company entered the refuse business about three years ago. Michael Roden, president, said he decided to join the Heil distributor network after meeting with the manufacturer's representatives at WasteExpo.

"We need to represent a manufacturer that has the strength and vision moving forward to offer a wide range of products to meet our customers' needs," he explains. "I looked at a number of refuse collection vehicle manufacturers, and Heil is clearly the leader."

Vimar is an excellent addition to the Heil team, says David Baratti, Heil vice president of sales and marketing. "We are pleased to provide our customers in British Columbia and the Yukon with the dedication and attention to detail offered by the outstanding professionals at Vimar Equipment," he says.
