CHANTILLY, Va. – A highlight of the Heavy Duty Remanufacturing Group (HDRG) Summit to be held Jan. 27, 2014, in Las Vegas, will be a luncheon featuring the annual “Heavy Duty Remanufacturer of the Year” Award. This award will be presented to a remanufacturer who has demonstrated leadership and vision in the industry. A committee will make the selection from among those nominated.
The winner of the Heavy Duty Remanufacturer of the Year Award will join the past winners from Precision Rebuilders, St. Clair, Mo.; Weller Truck Parts, Grand Rapids, Mich.; Meritor, Plainfield, Ind.; Camerota Truck Parts, Enfield, Conn.; Transaxle, Cinnaminson, N.J.; and ERC, Walled Lake, Mich.
According to Bill Gager, president of the Automotive Parts Remanufacturers Association (APRA), host of the summit, “Eight years ago, the Heavy Duty Remanufacturing Group (HDRG) was formed to further the interests of the heavy-duty remanufacturer members of APRA. Both APRA and HDRG have benefited from numerous hard-working individuals who have helped in the creation of this group, and we are more than pleased to be able to recognize one of them at our luncheon in 2014.”
Gager pointed out that a high percentage of APRA members participate in the heavy-duty marketplace and what better way to recognize this fact than by initiating an annual Heavy Duty Remanufacturer of the Year award. The registration fee for the HDRG Summit will include admittance to the luncheon.
Gager added, “We hope all heavy-duty remanufacturers will show their support of the HDRG and understand the importance the heavy-duty commercial vehicle business plays in the total remanufacturing marketplace."
The HDRG Summit takes place right before the opening of Heavy Duty Aftermarket Week (HDAW), Jan. 27-30, 2014, at The Mirage Hotel in Las Vegas.
Nominations for the Heavy Duty Remanufacturer of the Year may be directed to Bill Gager at [email protected].
