Bergquist said it changed Brock's job assignment after seeing an increase in sales of Gaslog Remote Cellular Tank Monitors from Silicon Controls. Bergquist shifted Brock to the new position to complement a previous hire in 2015, Mike Vigliotti. The two specialists will be respon- sible for providing service and training for the Gaslog and other telemetry monitors. Brock will focus on customers in the southern and western United States, while Vigliotti will remain the primary contact for the northern and eastern part of the country. "Matt Brock, our energetic Texas area sales manager, will become our second tank monitor sales specialist," said Bruce Montroy, senior vice president of sales for Bergquist. "We see this as a growing segment of the market that has great potential for us as more propane marketers look to improve delivery efficiencies and increase profits." "Mike Vigliotti has done a tremendous job getting us started down this road—sales have increased more than 36% year-to-year," said Montroy. Gaslog is designed to be installed and utilized by existing staff and is deployed by drivers, with no home access required and tank-level availability the same day, Bergquist said. The technol- ogy is maintenance free and the battery life is five years or more, the company said. For more information visit the website BergquistInc.com.
