MCALESTER, OK — The Kirby-Smith Machinery, Inc. (KSM) team recently celebrated the grand opening of its facility in McAlester, Oklahoma, the 11th location in its network of sales and service branches across a four-state region. The celebration included a ribbon-cutting event that featured representatives from KSM, McAlester community leaders and partners from heavy equipment manufacturers.
Guests were also invited to tour the facility and equipment yard and meet with representatives from the KSM team.
