“We are pleased to become part of the AmeraMex International family,” commented Sierra Industrial COO Rodney Womack. “Under the AmeraMex umbrella we will be able to provide our customers with an expanded inventory and a geographical reach to meet all of their equipment needs in the Las Vegas area and beyond. We have retained all of our employees and, over the next few months, expect to relocate to larger facilities to meet increasing demand for heavy equipment and service,” added Womack.
“Sierra Industrial Equipment and AmeraMex have the same philosophy, the customer comes first,” said AmeraMex CEO and President Lee Hamre. “Rod, who has been named to the AmeraMex board of directors, brings over 40 years of industry experience, an excellent sales and service team, and a stellar reputation within the industry. We look forward to significant growth within Sierra Industrial over the next twelve months.”
