DRP Truck & Equipment Joins Hyundai Network, Serving Eastern Ohio
NORCROSS, Ga. (Oct. 1, 2025) – HD Hyundai Construction Equipment North America has just appointed DRP Truck & Equipment as a full-line dealer for eastern Ohio, serving the counties of Harrison, Tuscarawas, Jefferson, Belmont, Guernsey, Coshocton, Holmes, Stark, Carroll, and Columbiana.
Founded in 1993 as Dino Piergallini and Sons Equipment Inc., the dealership began with a focus on small agricultural products before expanding into compact rentals in the early 2000s. Following the passing of founder Dino Piergallini in 2013, brothers Mario and Giovanni Piergallini assumed leadership, as president and vice president, respectively, carrying forward their brother’s vision with renewed passion for the heavy construction industry. Today, DRP Truck & Equipment encompasses a full-scale, multi-location sales, service, and rental operation with a strong presence in construction, energy, civil, and demolition markets.
“Becoming a Hyundai Construction Equipment dealer marks a major step in DRP’s growth,” said VP Giovanni. “Our partnership with Hyundai will provide customers in eastern Ohio with access to a full line of advanced, dependable equipment backed by industry-leading factory parts and service support. We’re excited about the entire Hyundai lineup, but their wheel loaders in particular stand out as a product segment with strong regional demand.”
Rich Desmond, district manager, HD Hyundai Construction Equipment NA, said, “We’ve seen that DRP’s facilities and capabilities are designed with uptime and customer support in mind. They operate multiple service and retail locations and a fleet of fully equipped field service trucks and factory-trained technicians who deliver onsite support to keep customers’ equipment running. That makes DRP exactly the type of dealership we want to see selling and supporting Hyundai products.”
“Whether it’s complex component rebuilds, preventative maintenance, or rapid-response field service, we take pride in delivering service that matches the scale and urgency of our customers’ work,” Giovanni said.
In addition to the full line of Hyundai excavators, wheel loaders, articulated dump trucks, skid steer and compact track loaders, crawler dozers and hydraulic breakers, DRP offers several complementary lines, including agricultural tractors and equipment, crawler carriers, and a wide range of attachments and support equipment.
“At DRP, we have always believed that our job is bigger than selling and renting equipment — it’s about helping our customers succeed,” Giovanni said. “Hyundai gives us the ability to expand that mission with quality machines, innovative technology, and a level of support that aligns with our vision for the future.”
