Cutting the Ribbon on the Kriete Truck Center - Racine Expansion
In late October of 2018, the Kriete Group started a $6 million expansion project to Kriete Truck Center – Racine. The expansion adds 25,000 square feet, which includes 15 bay Truck Body Shop, and a state-of-the-art pump sized paint booth. All dedicated to providing retail body shop and collision service as well as expanded service to Putzmeister and the Concrete industry.
Today, August 15th, we officially cut the ribbon on that facility with representation from Mack Trucks, Putzmeister, and the Racine Area Manufacturers And Commerce – RAMAC, as well as other industry professionals and customers.
The additional facility will house a dedicated Body Shop operation and allow for expanded service capacity of the existing service shop for all makes and models of trucks. Along with additional physical space, Kriete Truck Center – Racine plans to increase the current service and parts staff by at least 50 people. Kriete Truck Center – Racine operations for service, parts, and body shop, are 24hrs Monday through Friday and Saturday 7 am – 3 pm.
Kriete Group and our Kriete Truck Centers are committed to delivering the best Volvo, Mack, Hino, and Fuso truck dealership experience possible. We do that by achieving the highest standards that our Manufacturing partners set. All 8 of our Kriete Truck Centers are Mack and Volvo Certified Uptime Dealers and Kriete Truck Center Madison is a Hino Certified Ultimate Dealer.
Additionally, the Kriete Group was awarded Mack Trucks North American Dealer of the year in 2018, the most recent of the four times the Kriete Group organization has won this award. Additionally Kriete Truck Center – Madison has won the Hino Yokozuna award for the past five years, Hino’s highest honor awarded to dealers in the United States.
This expansion is yet another investment the Kriete Group has made in our truck dealership network and service operations, in an ongoing effort to provide best in class service to all of our customers.
