Initially Mid-America Power Drives focused on sales and marketing efforts to the on-and-off highway mobile equipment market.〔http://companydatabase.org/c/power-take-offs/products-manufacturing/companys-products/hydraulic-pumps/components-electronics/force-america/force-america-inc.html〕〔http://www.findownersearch.com/mid-america-power-drives-3530138-brand.html〕 Later, product lines were added to serve new and existing markets. At the time of the merger, Mid-America Power Drives represented over a dozen major suppliers of mechanical and fluid power components with its distribution centers located in Colorado, Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri, and Wisconsin; serving customers primarily in the Upper Midwest States. The addition of the Colorado facility was the first step in servicing the western part of North America. Mid-America Power Drives created an Electrical Products Manufacturing Division in 1992, giving them the ability to further develop and manufacture electronics and electrical kit assemblies. Pederson-Sells Equipment, Inc. was a 44-year-old wholesale/retail distributor of agricultural and hydraulic components serving the agricultural, industrial and mobile markets. Their customers included agriculture implement dealers, fertilizer dealers, agriculture equipment manufacturers, manufacturers of construction and industrial equipment, repair and hydraulic shops, and local and state departments of transportation in the upper Midwest area. Repair items included hydraulic pumps, valves, motors, and cylinders; hydraulic hose assembly machines numbering in excess of 700 had been placed in dealer shops.〔http://www.trademarkia.com/pedersonsells-equipment-co-inc-75357299.html〕 Pederson-Sells Equipment, Inc. was headquartered in Fort Dodge, Iowa, with branch office/warehouse locations in Eagan, Minnesota; Bismarck, North Dakota; and Bloomington, Illinois. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「FORCE America, Inc.」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
