About the Company

The company, founded as Arizona Machinery in 1947 has been under the same family's leadership since.  Tom Rosztoczy, CEO of Stotz Equipment since 1998, has grown our company from 3 to 25 dealerships operating in 8 western states.  In 2013, all dealerships were consolidated under the name Stotz Equipment.  The name Stotz -- a shortened version of the family last name -- was suggested by employees to make sure our growing company never loses sight of its family history.  Stotz Equipment has 5 core values; Quality, Integrity, Loyalty, Caring, and Community. By finding people who share these same values and by fostering an environment of open communication we are able to build strong teams that are able to look past obstacles and work together to find the solutions our customers need.  Stotz Equipment believes that people are the company's number one asset. People are the starting point in the company's Circle of Success. Every employee at Stotz strives towards our ambitious vision to be the best equipment dealer in the world.
