About Equip Solutions Group
An independent sales representative for StarMix, and a sourcing desk for equipment and parts the catalog does not cover.
Paul Devine
The person on the other end
Equip Solutions Group is built around a simple arrangement: you get a direct line to someone who knows the equipment, has a stake in the outcome, and will still take your call two years after the invoice cleared.
Representing manufacturers means learning their products in far more detail than a catalog shows — which models are worth the upcharge, where the lead times really sit, and which spec decisions people regret. Working independently means being able to say all of that out loud.
The work splits two ways: StarMix plants, and a sourcing desk for used equipment and hard-to-find parts. The common thread is a machine that has to be earning instead of parked.

How I work
Four commitments, and what they cost me if I break them
These are not values on a wall. They are the reasons people call back.
Fit before sale
If a smaller unit, a different model or a used machine serves you better, that is the recommendation. A wrong sale costs more in referrals than it makes in commission.
Real numbers
Lead times and freight as they actually are, not as they would sound best. When something slips upstream, you hear it from me before you notice it yourself.
One thread
Quote, order, build, delivery, first parts call — same person, same phone number. Nothing gets handed off to a queue.
Answer the phone
Including after the sale, including on a part worth forty dollars, including when the answer is that I cannot help and here is who can.
StarMix
On-site concrete plants and genuine SMI parts, with operator training and bilingual support. Se habla español.
Sourcing
Used equipment, surplus units and hard-to-find parts, found through the dealer and supplier network rather than a catalog.
Straight answer
What independent means here
- I represent the manufacturers, I do not build the equipment. Warranty, engineering and production sit with the factory. My job is spec, quote, order and support.
- I am paid on what I sell. Which is exactly why a wrong-fit sale is bad business — the referral is worth more than the ticket.
- Not every request fits a line I carry. When that happens I either source it independently or point you to whoever can actually help.
