Houston, TX area contractor, Mar-Con Services, wins $100,000 “Dream Package”

Houston, TX. (May 2010) – Equipment World magazine has named Mario Ramos of Mar-Con Services, Pasadena, TX, as the winner of the Equipment World 2010 Contractor’s Dream Package.

Ramos will receive a prize package worth more than $100,000 in products and services during Equipment World’s Contractor’s Dream Package Winner Event on November 10th. The event will be hosted by Chastang Ford, Houston, TX, the local Ford Commercial Truck dealer in the winner’s area. The package includes a Ford Super Duty truck, a Ditch Witch compact tool carrier, a Landoll 16-foot trailer, credit for products from Conoco Phillips, Trimble, and FAE, VMAC’s underhood air compressor, a Lincoln welder, Baldor generator, Alturnamat ground protection mats and an Allied hydraulic hammer. 

Mario formed Mar-Con approximately 5 years ago, but he has worked in the heavy construction industry for more than 20 years with his father’s company, Ramos Industries. Mar-Con has more than 75 employees and specializes in road, bridge and water and sewer line projects at the state and local level. “This is a dream come true,” said Ramos, who entered the sweepstakes online this past summer. “I’ve been a loyal reader of Equipment World magazine for more than 10 years and always try to take the time to sign up for any opportunities that the magazine offers us.”

Launched in 2000, Equipment World’s Contractor’s Dream Package sweepstakes is the only program of its kind that enables sponsors to promote their products with a unique method that complements traditional advertising. For the past ten years, a lucky contractor such as Mario Ramos has won top-of-the line equipment to add to their fleet, and Equipment World accomplishes its goal of serving its readers and advertisers

“We are very grateful to our Dream Package sponsors who have helped us make this program a success with the additional promotional value and fun that we all have in giving away this $100,000 package,” said Gregg Terry, publisher of Equipment World.
