February 28, 2014<\/strong><\/p>\n DeWITT<\/strong>— the Buffalo Bills of the National Football League have reached an agreement that designates ADMAR Supply Company as the team’s “official construction-equipment supplier.”<\/p>\n ADMAR, based near Rochester, describes itself as the “largest” independently owned construction equipment rental and sales company in New York State and northern Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n Founded in 1972, ADMAR provides aerial-work platforms, rough-terrain forklifts, excavators, compressors, pumps, generators, concrete solutions and compaction, as well as an extensive service and parts operation.<\/p>\n ADMAR operates a Syracuse-area location in a 15,000-square-foot building at 6014 Drott Dr. in DeWitt, which runs parallel with Interstate 481.<\/p>\n The firm already has an existing partnership with the Bills, supplying a variety of equipment to Ralph Wilson Stadium in Orchard Park and its training camp at St. John Fisher College in the Rochester suburb of Pittsford.<\/p>\n This agreement, which ADMAR announced Feb. 17, will expand that relationship, as the bills are poised for a $130 million stadium renovation.<\/p>\n A job that big will involve several different types of equipment, says James (Jim) Voegler, branch manager of the ADMAR supply location in DeWitt.<\/p>\n The equipment involved could include aerial lifts, fork lifts, telescopic fork lifts, demolition equipment, breakers, jackhammers, and air compressors.<\/p>\n “Anything they need for the project…they can pull out of this store if they don’t have it available,” Voegler says.<\/p>\n The Bills asked ADMAR to become a partner with them in a sponsorship level and be their official construction-equipment supplier, says Laurie Robb, director of shared services for the DiMarco Group, ADMAR’s parent company.<\/p>\n When asked if the agreement involved any financial transaction between ADMAR and the Buffalo Bills, Robb declined to comment.<\/p>\n ADMAR views it as an “expansion” of its existing partnership with the Bills, Robb says. The team can call the company “on a day’s notice” and get whatever equipment it needs, as ADMAR works with a shared fleet, she adds. That means it can get equipment from locations in Buffalo, Rochester, DeWitt or at ADMAR’s newest location in Erie, Pa., Robb says.<\/p>\n The DeWitt location has 23 full-time employees, Voegler says. ADMAR employs about 200 people at its eight branches in New York and Pennsylvania, Robb adds.<\/p>\n The ADMAR logo gets placement on the ribbon board during games at Ralph Wilson Stadium.<\/p>\n The Ralph Wilson Stadium renovation and improvement project began this past June and includes new technology implementation, a new west-end plaza with a new team store and enhanced gate entries, and renovated and expanded concessions, restrooms, and a training facility.<\/p>\n
