"Elgin Sweeper and Challenger have chosen not to renew a distribution agreement that began in 2012," said Mike Higgins, vice president and general manager, Elgin Sweeper. "Our companies have agreed to a transition period and, in mid-2022, the Broom Badger production will move to Elgin Sweeper's world-class manufacturing plant in Elgin, Illinois. During this transition period, pricing for Broom Badger service parts will not be adversely affected and customers will continue to experience the same parts support and distribution they've come to expect from their Elgin dealer." Broom Badger success attributed to dealer supportThe Broom Badger has earned a successful reputation with municipal and contractor customers as an economical, compact, and easy-to-operate sweeper. Higgins acknowledged that Challenger was responsive to suggestions throughout the agreement and added that the sustained success of the Broom Badger was due in large part to the excellent service and support of Elgin Sweeper's dealers. "When a customer buys a Broom Badger, they are getting everything that stands behind the Elgin brand, including the people who sold and supported it via responsive parts availability, expert training, and timely servicing & and that includes our dealers," Higgins said.
