Subject: Irrigation Components International / Southwest Branch
I am very pleased to confirm Irrigation Components will be opening our Southwest Branch in Amarillo, Texas. Mr. Marty Hughes has been appointed the Southwest Regional Manager responsible for all sales and branch activity for this strategically important operation. Marty has a long and extensive background in center pivot irrigation. He has worked in sales and service at the dealer level. In addition, he has managed a major regional center pivot parts distribution depot in Texas for 8 years.
Irrigation Components has had a presence in the Southwest for many years. In the past, product has been drop shipped to our dealers from our factories or other branch operations. We feel the time has come for us to have our stock closer to the point of sale. This will lower the freight cost and delivery time to our dealers. The Southwest Branch will allow us to better coordinate and complement our efforts in Mexico as well. We will be stocking our core product lines in Amarillo. This will include gear boxes, gearmotors, tower boxes, main panels, collector rings, conversion kits, tire and wheel assemblies, flowmeters and electrical spare parts. In addition, the Amarillo location will have a new cut to length wire and cable capabilities. We will be stocking Paige/Southwire direct burial, SureSeal and span/motor lead cable in bulk reels. This gives us the capability of cutting any of these items to custom lengths.
Irrigation Components International is making a commitment to our customers in this region. Marty and the rest of the Irrigation Components International team are excited about our new operation in Amarillo.
Sincerely yours,
John McCabe
President
