What GT Mid Atlantic does
GT Mid Atlantic is a heavy construction equipment dealership serving construction, road construction, utility, landscaping, forestry, golf course, and government customers across the Mid-Atlantic United States. Operating out of eight locations spanning New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware, and southeastern Pennsylvania, the company sells new and used equipment, rents construction equipment (including paving, material processing, forestry equipment, towable diesel welders, light compaction equipment, forklifts, generators, pumps, and compressors), and operates a parts and service business (new and remanufactured parts, on-site and emergency service, shop services, extended warranties, fluid analysis, hydraulic hose assemblies, and welding fabrication). GT Mid Atlantic holds the authorized CASE Construction Equipment (CNH Industrial) dealership for the region, supplemented by secondary franchises for Liebherr, Astec/Roadtec, Epiroc, Etnyre, and Terramac, with telematics, paperless invoicing, and credit/financing as product-support layers.
Founded in 1958 and operating as a 101-250-employee private LLC (formerly Groff Tractor Mid Atlantic), the company was previously part of the Groff Tractor & Equipment network and filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on October 14, 2025, in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas. Core Equipment Group — backed by Santa Monica-based private equity firm LB Advisors and financed in part by a MidCap Financial senior secured credit facility and equity co-invest — acquired GT Mid Atlantic on February 27, 2026, through affiliate LB GTMA Opco LLC. The business sells equipment at list prices (financing available), priced used units, and usage-based rental rates; lead-generation runs through website inventory listings, direct regional sales reps, eight physical locations, and social media.
Post-acquisition, GT Mid Atlantic operates as part of an 8-location network under the Core Equipment Group brand, serving Maryland, New Jersey, Delaware, Northern Virginia, Washington D.C., and the Philadelphia area, with a planned May 2026 relocation of New Jersey operations to a new flagship facility in Farmingdale, NJ as part of broader modernization.
