PARIS ON, SEPTEMBER 9, 2008 – Tigercat is very pleased to announce that Frank Martin Sons Inc has been awarded exclusive, authorized full-line distribution rights for Tigercat machinery in the entire state of Maine.

Tigercat would also like to announce that West Mount Inc will no longer distribute Tigercat equipment. According to US sales manager Kevin Selby, this is the result of a mutual and amicable decision. "We would like to thank West Mount for fourteen years of service," says Selby, adding "Frank Martin is presently researching areas in mid-Maine to establish a second branch location. They are looking in the Skowhegan area with hopes of having something in place by the end of the year."

In the short term Frank Martin Sons will support existing West Mount customers with two mobile service technicians. Brent Angevine will be based out of Bethel and Bruce Bourgoin will be based in Bangor. Jeff Fogg, formerly of Milton CAT has been hired on as a sales representative to help cover the new territory.

Well respected and entrenched in Maine's forestry industry, Frank Martin is based out of Fort Kent Mills. The family owned business has been operating since 1952 and has represented Tigercat for 13 years.
