With his nine years of experience in the aggregate and mining industries, Siler will work with Major Wire’s dealers in California, Oregon, Washington, Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, Nevada, Wyoming, Montana, Utah and Idaho.

For the past two years, Siler was a sales representative of The G. W. Van Keppel Co., a Major Wire dealer, where he sold aggregate-related products in southern Arkansas, Louisiana, northeast Texas and western Mississippi.

He will be able to provide screening solutions through Major Wire’s entire product line, including Flex-Mat 3 High-Performance, Self-Cleaning Screen Cloth,” said Gary Pederson, Major Wire’s vice president, Sales. “Jim will be a great addition to our sales team and we look forward to having him on board.”
