On April 1, 1951, James Gregory Poole Sr. and his uncle William Lewis Gregory founded Gregory Poole Equipment Company, becoming the Cat construction equipment dealer for eastern North Carolina. Poole and his family became the sole owners in 1961 after obtaining W.L. Gregory’s shares in the company. Headquartered in Raleigh, North Carolina, GPEC has expanded its operations to 27 locations, serving the construction, forestry, lift systems, marine power, energy & transportation equipment, trucks, buses and RVs in eastern North Carolina, as well as lift systems in eastern South Carolina and Virginia.
To this day, Gregory Poole remains a family-owned business, one that is committed to the communities we serve and the businesses who trust us with their equipment needs. We are proud to offer long-term support for everything we sell, with a network of service centers throughout eastern NC and extensive mobile repair capabilities. Whether it’s an emergency repair that gets you up and running again, or proactive, preventative maintenance, we have the expertise and the highly trained staff necessary to keep you productive and profitable well into the future.
Gregory Poole is committed to reducing our environmental impact and continuously improving our environmental performance as a fundamental part of our business and operations strategy. To best set future generations up for success, we encourage our customers, suppliers, and business associates to do the same.
