Avenue Machinery – Serving Every Sector of the Agricultural Industry
History
Avenue Machinery Corp. opened its doors in 1947 in Mission, B.C. Specializing in the sale and service of Massey Ferguson farm tractors.
In 1968 - Avenue moved to their current location in Abbotsford.
In 1976 - Avenue took on the Kubota line of equipment, starting with a few models of compact tractors to compliment the larger Massey Ferguson products.
In 2000 - Avenue was sold to the Marubeni Corporation of Japan, at that time they expanded to include the Central and North Okanagan area, now with dealerships in Abbotsford, West Kelowna and Vernon. Then in 2012 Avenue was sold to Dave Brandsma, Andy Mitchell, Chris Britten and Al Short, bringing Avenue back into local ownership, with a combined 75 years of equipment sales and service expertise the new owners are well versed in the agriculture and light construction industry.
Having the owners live and work in the local area has enabled Avenue to grow to new levels of success, with a focus on bringing top level service and expanded parts availability our sales have grown to be a leader in the agriculture and light construction sectors.
From our roots in the dairy industry in the Fraser Valley Avenue has expanded to include all sectors of the agriculture industry and we are now becoming a force in the light construction equipment market as well. We recognize that it’s our customers that bring us our success, this being our 70th anniversary we want to give a special thank you to everyone that has given us the pleasure to serve them, so please stop by and celebrate our 70th anniversary.

Kubota has also acquired Kvernland manufacturing from Europe, supplying products such as plows, cultivators and balers and mowers, Kvernland is considered to be of the highest quality so it’s a great fit to Kubota’s philosophy of quality first.
