LOUISVILLE, Ky. (December 10, 2020) – Boyd Company leadership announced today, effective January 1, 2021, Whayne Supply Company will complete its merger with Cecil I. Walker Machinery Co. and officially change its name to Boyd Company.
This change comes after more than ten months of transitioning from Whayne Supply and Walker Machinery to Boyd Company, led by President and CEO Monty Boyd.
“Our promise is, and has always been, to put our customers first in everything we do,” Boyd Company Executive Vice President and CFO Joseph Yoerg said. “This merger allows us to make the day-to-day easier for our customers, our employees and our valued industry partners.”
Over the past ten months, the new brand rollout has been underway throughout internal and external channels.

Any and all active contracts between Whayne Supply Company or Cecil I. Walker Machinery Co. will remain intact and extend to Boyd Company.
“Simpler invoicing, combined machine and parts inventory, and expanded rental fleets are some of the ways we are streamlining our processes to make it easiest to work with us,” Yoerg added.
Whayne Supply and Walker Machinery are two of the oldest Caterpillar dealerships – founded in 1913 and 1950 respectively. With 175 years of combined history, Whayne Supply and Walker Machinery have provided best in class service, equipment, and parts as the authorized Caterpillar dealer throughout Kentucky, Southern Indiana, West Virginia, and Southeastern Ohio.
