History

Established over 30 years ago, Great Northern Equipment Distributing, Inc. beginnings were in a small building in Nisswa, MN. Our base business started with Honda engine sales and expanded to incorporate commercial quality power equipment lines.

Now based in Rogers, MN, GNE has grown to become Honda's largest Engine Distributor in the United States. In addition, we distribute over 50 lines of commercial quality power equipment and parts to the Rental and Dealer markets.
