Crown recognises dealers
New Bremen, OH, United States

Crown Equipment Corporation recently recognised its top-performing dealers in Latin America and the Caribbean. REAL Marketing (Trinidad & Tobago), an independent Crown dealer since 2004, rose to the challenge and received the highest honour, the Summit award, for delivering outstanding achievements in sales and customer satisfaction in 2015.
In addition, four dealers earned Ascent Awards for delivering outstanding performance for the year.
Two of the Ascent Award winners, Lift Trucks & Parts, Inc. (Puerto Rico), an independent Crown dealer since 1998, and IMEQ Dominicana, S.A. (Dominican Republic), which has been part of Crown's dealer network since 2003, have both earned this award every year since its inception in 2014. The other two Ascent Award winners, Distribuidora LARCE, S.A. (Costa Rica), an independent Crown dealer since 1974, and Montacargas y Accessorios de Nicaragua, S.A. (Nicaragua), which joined the Crown dealer network in 2005, are both first-time recipients.
"I'm always reminded that a company is only as successful as the dedicated employees and representatives who are out in the field anticipating customer needs and working together on a daily basis to solve their challenges and increase efficiency, safety and savings," says Joe Ritter, director of operations for Latin America. "These winners exemplify that dedication by working diligently to strengthen our customer relationships and helping our customers be more productive."
 
Riwal on the road to business award
Dordrecht, Netherlands

Riwal, the aerial work platform and telehandler rental specialist, has been named the National Champion for companies with revenue over EUR150 million for the Netherlands in The European Business Awards, Europe's largest business competition set up to celebrate business excellence and best practice in the European business community.
The awards, now in their 10th year, are supported by business leaders, academics and political representatives from across Europe, and this year engaged with over 33,000 businesses from 34 countries.
Riwal was chosen after the first phase of judging by an independent panel. The company was evaluated on the core EBA values of innovation, ethics and success and will now go through to the next round.
The next round requires the National Champions to make a presentation video, telling their unique story and explaining their business success. The independent judges will award the best of this group the 'Ruban d'Honneur' status and the selected companies will then go on to the Gala Final in 2017.

American Crane & Equipment marks Manufacturing Day
Douglassville, PA, United States

On September 26th and 27th, American Crane & Equipment Corporation, a manufacturer of overhead electric cranes and hoists, celebrated Manufacturing by inviting Reading and Boyertown School District's 9th and 10th grade students to tour its plant and participate in a presentation highlighting careers in manufacturing.
Manufacturing Day, officially recognised on the first Friday in October, is a day set aside to inspire the next generation of manufacturers.
For several years, American Crane has offered tours of their plant and operations in an effort to educate students and the public about the many opportunities manufacturing can offer. During American Crane's plant tour, students learned how knowledge of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) relates to jobs in a manufacturing setting. Students first observed mechanical designers and engineers working with computer-aided design software (CAD) and a computer-aided engineering program (CAE) called Solid Works.
