Patten Cat recently announced the promotion of Brent Annen as the company's newest machine sales representative covering both Kane and DeKalb counties in Illinois.

In his new role, which he assumed Aug. 14, Annen is responsible for the entire Caterpillar construction equipment line. His past positions as a machine technology specialist and an industrial, waste and technology specialist have prepared him well for his new responsibilities. According to Annen, his solid understanding of machine control and construction technology should prove useful as technology-enabled machines are becoming increasingly commonplace.

“I'm excited for this opportunity and look forward to establishing long-term, mutually beneficial relationships with my customers,” said Annen.

Brian Serio, sales manager of Patten Industries, said that the overall expectation for the role is to provide unparalleled products and solutions that the company's customers have learned to expect.

Patten Cat carries the full line of Caterpillar heavy and compact construction equipment, which is available to purchase, rent or lease. In addition, Patten Cat also provides parts and service to support this full product line.
