ECHO names subsidary Golden Eagle as new distributor after General Power Equipment discontinues ECHO products

LAKE ZURICH, Ill.– General Power Equipment, a distributor for ECHO Incorporated for more than 25 years, recently notified their dealer network of their decision to discontinue distribution of ECHO, Shindaiwa and ECHO Bearcat products.

ECHO Incorporated has appointed Golden Eagle Distributing Corporation to serve the independent dealer network previously handled by General Power.  Effective Oct. 1, 2019, Golden Eagle will begin distribution to the territory being exited by General Power.

Golden Eagle Distributing Corporation is the largest distributor of ECHO and Shindaiwa brand outdoor power equipment in the U.S. and is wholly owned by ECHO Incorporated, with distribution facilities located in Rocklin, California, and Wauconda, Illinois.

"We would like to thank General Power for many years of excellent and dedicated service to the ECHO brands…We are excited about the challenges and opportunities this brings to the ECHO group," said Tim Dorsey, president of ECHO Incorporated.
