Company Founder
Cascade Trader Inc. owner, Rich Lennox, knows the heavy equipment industry. His lifelong career as a salesman began at the Skagit Manufacturing plant in Sedro-Woolley, Washington in 1966 and continued at Skagit in Chehalis, Washington. In the 1970s, motivated by his valuable experience working with loggers at Skagit, Rich started his own company—Cascade Loggers Supply. Cascade Loggers Supply specialized in anything a logger might need, driven by Rich's philosophy of doing whatever he could to keep loggers satisfied with his services so that they’d always come back for more. Throughout the '70s and '80s, Rich built a strong reputation throughout the region—including for taking in some very interesting trades to close a deal. In 1991, Cascade Trader was born.
Cascade Trader Inc.
Originally founded in 1991 to fill a niche in the pre-owned equipment market, Cascade Trader soon expanded to become one of the nation's leading dealers of DEVELON (formerly Doosan) machinery. In keeping with his aim to help his customers succeed, Rich recognized that selling the equipment line would allow him to offer reliable, well-built, new machines at a very competitive price. The heavy equipment brand was virtually unknown at the time, but Rich's vote of confidence helped build its reputation among logging and construction customers throughout the region and country. Now, DEVELON equipment is a leading brand in the logging and construction industries alike.
