More Growth for Haltom Equipment in Mooresville

Haltom Acquired by Russo Power Equipment

The team at Haltom Equipment, in Mooresville, IN, isn’t afraid of change or making big moves. From one family to another, this marks the third shift in Haltom’s long history.

Haltom has been a destination for quality lawn and garden equipment, parts, and service since 1979 with the Haltom family leading the charge. In 1996, Scott and Laura Benko took over the location which was already a well-known dealer in south-central Indiana. Along with their son Aaron, they have evolved to better serve their customers’ ever-changing needs. With this shift in 2010, they were able to focus on providing customers with the equipment they needed and now proudly carry multiple industry-leading brands.

Scott and Laura are proud to have built a family legacy. Now, with Russo Power Equipment, Aaron & the Haltom team will continue to be an integral part of the company and his passion for the family business will remain intact. Under his leadership, the now “Powered by Russo” staff, will maintain their pride in providing midwestern hospitality along with business solutions.

“It’s easy to join forces with a team that shares the same work ethic and integrity as your own. We’re excited to build on what they have created and serve as role models as we continue to grow together.” -Eric Adams, President, Russo Power Equipment

Just like earlier acquisitions this year, the Russo team is excited to meet and share processes with their new teammates and ready to learn, grow, and move forward together.
