Showcase Equipment is proud to announce the acquisition of Echo Enterprises, a respected manufacturer based in Hector, New York. This exciting milestone marks a new chapter for both companies and reinforces Showcase’s commitment to providing exceptional sawmill equipment and service across North America.

Echo Enterprises has built a reputation for heavy-duty and custom-length bandmills, designed for reliability and precision. These mills have become trusted tools for professional sawyers and commercial operations alike. Through this acquisition, Showcase Equipment will carry on Echo’s legacy—continuing to produce the same high-quality equipment that customers have relied on for years.

“We are very excited about this opportunity,” said John Yoder, owner of Showcase Equipment. “Showcase wants to continue doing what Echo has become known for, and this acquisition fits perfectly with what Showcase does now and plans to do in the future—being your go-to source for all your sawmill equipment needs.”

This partnership represents more than a business transaction—it’s a shared vision for the future of the sawmill industry.
