Hamre Equipment was founded in the late 1980's to meet the heavy equipment needs primarily in Northern California. As the political environment changed in California, management decided to look to the international market and for the next 15 years concentrated on growing its international footprint in countries such as Vietnam, Russia, Indonesia and Mexico. It was in Mexico that Lee Hamre met Southern California based AmeraMex International.

To make a long story short, Hamre Equipment merged into AmeraMex International in 2006, at which time Hamre Equipment become a business unit under AmeraMex International and Lee Hamre become CEO and Chairman.

Initially Hamre Equipment sold new and some used equipment into the construction, lumber, mining and agricultural industries. To continue revenue growth, the Company expanded its equipment line to penetrate new markets and geographical locations. While doing so, the Company discovered it could purchase its customers’ old equipment, refurbish it into ‘like new condition’ and resell it for much better profit margins than most new equipment.
