History

Nortrax dealership in Escanaba, Michigan

Formed in 1999 as a venture between John Deere and Credit Suisse Group, Nortrax purchased Neff Machinery, with seven Florida construction dealerships that year.[4]

Nortrax expanded through purchases of dealerships to strengthen its market position against competition from Caterpillar Inc.,[5] with a few hiccups along the way,[6] continuing through 2002.[7]

Since 2003 Deere and Company has owned a majority stake in the company.[8]

In 2005 Papé Machinery Inc. purchased the assets of the Western region of Nortrax, consisting of 8 locations in northern California and western Nevada.[9]

Formerly headquartered in Moline, Illinois,[10] in 2009 Nortrax opened its centralized shared services facility in Tampa, FL.[2]
