CUMMINGS MC GOWAN & WEST INC

CMW Equipment celebrates 58 years of service. 

For 58 years, it’s been all about service at CMW Equipment. We’ve successfully delivered on our promises to help our customers build roads while building their business. Our road-building experience covers the Asphalt, Concrete and Readymix industries, and the value we bring to our customers is delivering expert sales, service and parts for high quality new and used equipment for road construction.

Outstanding customer service has been the cornerstone of CMW since January 17, 1956 when three construction equipment salesmen and their trusted office manager left the security of the St. Louis based O.V. Avery dealership to start their own company. Their names were: J.L. Cummings, Thomas F. McGowan Jr., Victor W. West and Ethel A. Klein. Together they founded Cummings, McGowan & West, today known as CMW Equipment.

Because of their prior experience, relationships and reputation for taking care of customers, this new group was able to quickly establish solid product lines and customers. Turns out, timing couldn’t have been better, because the largest road construction project in U.S. history had just begun. The “Federal Highway Act of 1956″ called for 41,000 miles of new Interstate roadways with an estimated cost of $41 billion.

Since 1956, we've supplied midwest road builders and transportation departments with new & used equipment, rentals, and non-stop service & support. Our mission is to help our customers improve production.

We work on all makes and models of road construction equipment. We also specialize in Readymix repairs and rehab. We’re a stocking distributor for most of our vendors, and we provide parts for all brands of Readymix equipment. If we don’t have your parts in stock, we can get them. In most cases we’ll have them shipped direct to you by overnight courier to minimize your equipment downtime.
