then, Pat and his team have taken a territory which used to harvest 6
trucks a year, to one that has averaged 40 trucks a year over the last
ten years, and 60 trucks a year over the past three years. Pat’s team
has become the primary supplier of equipment in major metropolitan areas
in Central, South and West Texas such as; Austin, San Antonio, Waco, and
Midland / Odessa. Pat’s staff has gone from a total of 3 members, to a
team comprised of almost 40. Siddons also has a very well established
sales and service facility in Manor Texas, and is expanding their
coverage in Kirby, as well as the Coastal Bend and Lower Rio Grande
