Kriete 2019 Awards Ceremony – Hino Yokozuna and Mack Central Region Dealer of the Year

Kriete 2019 Awards Ceremony

Kriete 2019 Awards Ceremony - Hino Yokozuna and Mack Central Region Dealer of the Year

The end of the year is always a hectic time, especially in the trucking industry. We all know that trucks move America, so the busiest shipping season in the United States means the busiest truck service season as well. But when things calm down, the Kriete Group and all of our Kriete Truck Centers take time to celebrate all we have accomplished in the previous year.

This Year’s Kriete Christmas Party and Award Ceremony was our biggest yet with over 410 in attendance at the Osthoff Resort in Elkhart Lake, WI. The evening started with cocktails and a red carpet photo booth. And when the ballroom opened, everyone enjoyed a BBQ style dinner, waiting in anticipation for the evening’s awards.

David Kriete, President & CEO of Kriete Group, kicked off the award show with a thank-you to everyone who puts in the hard work every day to make the organization what it is. He recapped the expansion of our organization has seen over the last year, including completion of our body shop facility in Racine, breaking ground on a new body shop in Madison, as well as facility remodels in La Crosse and Sheboygan.

Before jumping into the company awards, it was with great excitement that he announced our 2019 Industry Partner Awards. Then evening culminated as it always does, honoring the best of the best without our organization.
