Nominations Now Open for Heavy Duty Remanufacturer of the Year

September 14, 2010


CHANTILLY, VIRGINIA –  A highlight of the Heavy Duty Remanufacturing Group Summit 2011 to be held in Las Vegas, Nevada on January 17, 2011 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. Nominations may be directed to the attention of Bill Gager at the APRA Headquarters.

According to Bill Gager, President of the Automotive Parts Remanufacturers Association (APRA), “Five 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 2011.”

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 always takes place right before the opening of Heavy Duty Aftermarket Week (HDAW) which will be January 17-20, 2011.

HDAW is an industry driven week of meetings, conferences and a trade show to centralize the industry’s events in one place at one time. Most top executives of major component suppliers will be in attendance. HDAW week provides an excellent opportunity for attendees to network with their peers in the business. The HDRG Summit will feature a forward looking program of leading industry figures discussing the future technologies facing the remanufacturer of tomorrow.
