Putzmeister America, Inc. Recognizes Top Distributors at 2013 World of Concrete Trade Show

Putzmeister America, Inc. recognized six of its top distributor partners with its annual “Distributor of the Year” awards at a special VIP event held at the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas during the 2013 World of Concrete trade show.

Advance Equipment Co. won North American Spare Parts and Pipe System Distributor of the Year; IMOCOM won Thom-Katt® Distributor of the Year; Metal Tecnica S.A. won both Latin American Large Line Distributor of the Year, and Latin American Spare Parts and Pipe System Distributor of the Year; Pioneer Concrete Pumping, Inc. won North American Spare Parts and Pipe System Distributor of the Year; Pompaction Inc. won North American Large Line Distributor of the Year; and Walker Equipment Company won Mortar Machine Distributor of the Year.

“Having great partnerships with distributors is a huge part of what makes a company like ours successful,” said Dave Adams, Putzmeister’s president and CEO. “Without the support of our distributors, we would not be where we are today. We’d like to thank those companies named ‘Distributors of the Year,’ along with all of our distributors for their confidence in our company and our products.”

In addition to the companies recognized as Distributors of the Year, two companies were honored with length of service awards, which recognize longevity as Putzmeister America distributors. Recognized for 10 years of service was Rocky Mountain Construction Equipment, and for 25 years of service, D & M Equipment Company.

Putzmeister also paid tribute to the late Gary Schmidt, a longtime friend and colleague, who passed away in 2012.

“We will always remember Gary’s integrity, professionalism and enormously generous heart,” said Adams. “Gary meant a lot to all of us, and will be greatly missed.”
