Right to Repair and What it Means for Entrepreneurs

On Behalf of Associated Equipment Distributors before the U.S. House of Representatives Small Business Committee’s Underserved, Agricultural, and Rural Business Development Subcommittee

Statement by Ken Taylor, President of Ohio Machinery Co.

Chairman Golden, Ranking Member Tenney, and other distinguished members of this subcommittee, it is an honor to appear before you today both as Associated Equipment Distributors’ (AED) 2022 Chairman and as president of Ohio Machinery Co.

AED is the international trade association representing companies that sell, rent and service equipment used in many applications, including construction, agriculture, forestry, energy, mining, material handling and industrial production. If you see a hydraulic excavator or a wheel loader moving dirt on an infrastructure project or a combine working on a farm during harvest, it was likely sold or rented by an AED member.
