What Allmand Bros does

Allmand Bros., Inc. is a U.S. manufacturer of portable jobsite equipment founded in 1938 and headquartered in Holdrege, Nebraska. The company designs and produces light towers (Night-Lite GR-Series, V-Series, E-Series, PRO II, and the Hybrid LT-Series concept), towable mobile generators (Maxi-Power 25–150 kVA), mobile industrial heaters (Maxi-Heat), and portable air compressors (Maxi-Air MA185/MA400). Allmand's products are built around durability, serviceability, and lowest total cost of ownership for high-utilization rental fleet environments, with Tier 4 Final diesel emissions compliance and optional powerplants sourced from CAT, Isuzu, Kohler, Kubota, Mitsubishi, and Vanguard engine partners.

The business operates a sales-led B2B model selling through an independent U.S. dealer network and direct enterprise sales to equipment rental companies, construction contractors, mining operators, oil and gas sites, and event production firms. Revenue is generated primarily through hardware sales of equipment plus an aftermarket parts and service stream via a direct parts ordering system. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, reflecting the configured/engine-option nature of each unit. Equipment rental and construction are the primary end-segments, with rental fleet durability and resale value positioned as the central differentiators.

As of January 5, 2026, Allmand operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Generac Holdings Inc. (NYSE:GNRC), having previously been a subsidiary of Briggs & Stratton Corporation from 2017. The Holdrege facility employs approximately 200 people and was expanded in 2019 with five new assembly lines, a prototyping lab, robotic weld cells, and a new paint system to support record production levels and faster new-product introductions.
