Takeuchi recently announced the expansion of its Canadian dealer network with the addition of Cornerstone Equipment – a new dealer based in London, Ontario – that will serve contractors, rental companies and agriculture customers throughout Southwestern Ontario.
The dealership marks a significant step in Takeuchi’s efforts to strengthen its market presence in one of Canada’s busiest construction regions. The new business is led by partners Calvin Vandenbrink, Eric Vanderlinde and Ruan Vanderlinde, who all bring extensive equipment sales experience to the partnership.
Expanding equipment access in Southwestern Ontario
Cornerstone Equipment is strategically positioned to serve customers across Middlesex, Oxford, Waterloo, Elgina and neighbouring counties, offering Takeuchi’s full lineup of compact and construction equipment, including excavators, track loaders, wheel loaders, crawler dumpers and attachments.
According to company officials, the facility includes dedicated showroom, part and service areas designed to support both equipment sales and after-sales customer needs. In addition, the dealership has also established in-house and on-road sales and service teams to provide coverage throughout its territory.
“As we launch this new venture, we’re excited to work with Takeuchi,” says Calvin Vandenbrink. “Takeuchi has a strong brand reputation built on providing high-quality construction equipment. We strongly believe that featuring Takeuchi as our flagship brand will help us attract a solid customer base within the construction, landscape and agriculture sectors here in this region.”

Focus on service and support
For heavy civil contractors, dealer support can prove to be just as important as machine performance. Cornerstone Equipment has committed to comprehensive sales training and product support programs intended to provide customers with a consistent ownership experience throughout the equipment lifecycle.
Takeuchi officials say the dealerships leadership team brings a strong understanding of the regional market and customer requirements.
“Calvin, Eric and Ryan have a clear understanding of their market, a defined sales strategy and a strong commitment to product support,” says Patrick Kirychuck, Regional Business Manage for Takeuchi-US. “We’re confident their approach will help expand Takeuchi’s presence in this part of Canada.”
Strengthening regional coverage
The addition of Cornerstone Equipment gives contractors across Southwestern Ontario another source for equipment sales, service and part support as construction activity continues across infrastructure, site development and municipal projects. For Takeuchi, the partnership further strengthens its Canadian dealer network while providing local customers with expanded access to equipment and technical support closer to home.
