About Us
WHO WE ARE
The Attachment Company
We are a family business based in Central Scotland that has been providing premium hydraulic attachments throughout the UK since 2014 for a large range of machinery and excavators.
Our relationship with Simex started in 2023 and we are very proud to represent their range of premium hydraulic attachments. This gives us the ability to offer high-quality cold planers, drum cutters, screening and crushing buckets, wheel saws and more from a highly respected Italian manufacturer.
OUR STORY
Our History
William (Snr) & Heather Forrest started Mouse Valley Plant Hire in Scotland in the late 1990’s, providing a range of excavators for rental all over the country. After growing the business to a fleet of over 100 pieces of equipment and after working with the family business William Jr started The Attachment Company in Scotland in 2014 (formerly Mouse Valley Equipment).
“If they don’t produce good products, it’s not something we want to get involved with,” William said. “Our name and our reputation are closely tied to the manufacturers that we work with.
“They also need to want to work with us to try and grow the market and support us as a company. If we get that support, we can then provide that same support to our customers. If it’s us trying to convince manufacturers to work with us, I think it gets the relationship off on the wrong foot.”
UK TO USA
The Attachment Company LLC
In 2019, William & Andrew started The Attachment Company LLC in the United States. Based along the same plan that had seen Mouse Valley Equipment grow year upon year in Scotland, The Attachment Company now offers a large range of attachments for skid steers and excavators to suit the US market.
Having knowledge of the European market of equipment and attachments, let’s us keep an eye on what is up and coming in the attachment industry. Many new technologies are seen in Scandinavia & Europe many years before they become popular in the US. Even through the last few challenging years, we have managed to grow and add to our product range, as well as move into our own dedicated space in Denver, Colorado.
We understand that there are many options when shopping for attachments for your application and we appreciate when customers choose us to supply them with a solution!
