IRock names regional sales manager

IRock Crushers hired John Patton as its southeast regional sales manager.

According to IRock, Patton manages sales with a focus on setting up a dealer network and identifying rental and sale opportunities for dealers. His territory includes Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee.

“Patton shares our values of fully supporting dealers by not only providing quality crushing and screening solutions, but also helping bring new customers through the doors,” says Sean Donaghy, IRock’s national sales manager. “His customer service skills are a great asset to the IRock team.”

Patton has more than 15 years of experience in the equipment industry, according to IRock. Previously, he was a regional sales manager for Yanmar America’s equipment division. He spent two years managing and building a dealer network in the Northeast and Midwest. He also served as Wacker Neuson’s district manager and metro jobsite specialist for more than eight years.

“I look forward to helping our dealer network grow by providing productivity-enhancing crushing and screening solutions for their customers,” Patton says. “Customers need productive and cost-effective machines, which is why I’m excited to show them IRock’s equipment line.”

IRock manufactures portable crushing plants, screening equipment and related products. The company was formed in 1992.
