Melvin Collins started the first company, Southeastern Pneumatic, Inc. in August 1987 and Southwestern Pneumatic, Inc. of Kyle, Texas in 1995. Prior to these ventures, he had worked for over 20 years for a major dry bulk carrier in the southeast. During this time he recognized a need for a business that could combine dry bulk tank trailers and blowers to handle different types of dry bulk commodities. "We're in a very specialized part of the industry," says Melvin Collins, company owner and president, "A lot of people who sell tank trailers don't know blowers and vice versa. And a lot who sell both don't know commodities...That's our expertise." Making sure all three work together correctly.
The three companies have authorized factory distributor contracts with major manufacturers which have proven to produce premium equipment, for the dry bulk transportation industry.
