Powering Progress Since 1951

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 powerenergy & transportation equipment, trucks, buses and RVs in eastern North Carolina, as well as lift systems in eastern South Carolina and Virginia.
