Building a trustworthy, hardworking team has been the focus for President of K&E Excavating Kerry Kuenzi and his business partner Eric Kuenzi since establishing the business in 1998. Based in Oregon, their respect for each other and the local community has driven this family-run construction company forward.

A dealer to depend on

Alongside mining their own materials from Davis Creek Rock Quarry, Silverton, Oregon, the team offers various construction services. With customers ranging from home builders to large businesses and state government, their 200-strong team delivers excavation, site work, highway, bridge, waterways and airport building alongside surveying and grinding. 

Their contracting, mobile crushing and screening services require the easy movement and quick set-up of equipment from site to site. Most recently, this has included working on many excavation sites in Bend, Oregon, where the crew has been blasting and crushing rock. To deliver on this project, the team needed to bring and continuously run screeners, cones, crushers and conveyors.

Powerscreen were able to supply the range of dependable equipment the crew needed and keep it operating effectively for the duration of the work. As Dan explains, “K&E are one of the state’s premier and most trustworthy companies...

When we came on board, we brought everything. This included a rental fleet they could use for particular projects and a local person who could call on them regularly to talk about what they need. Plus, for any new pits they needed to set up, we had the resources and range to help them put in big systems.”
