One of Carrier Transicold’s longest-standing North American dealerships, W&B Service Company LP of Dallas TX, was named 2009 Dealer of the Year at Carrier Transicold’s annual Truck, Trailer, and Rail dealer meeting.
Refrigeración Especializada para el Transporte de Occidente SA de CV (RETO), Guadalajara, Mexico, was named Latin America Dealer of the Year.
The event was held in Henderson NV and recognized “the way great people, innovative products, programs, partnerships, and exceptional customer service come together to create a very special result,” according to Tom Ondo, general manager, Americas Truck/Trailer. In all, 36 dealerships and three individuals from Carrier’s North America and Latin America dealer networks were recognized for sales and service performance, making significant investments in facilities, and achieving business objectives.
Since 1970, W&B has attained seven Carrier Transicold Dealer of the Year Awards.
“I am very proud of the men and women of W&B,” said John Chisolm, W&B president and general manager. “We are a 65-year-old company and have received many awards, but it never stops feeling great when your team receives recognition. It’s always an honor to win.”
W&B Service of Dallas, along with five additional W&B locations, also received NextLevel 2 Platinum awards for all-around business practices.
For Latin America winner RETO, this is the first Dealer of the Year award in its 20 years as a Carrier Transicold dealer.
Led by General Manager Rubén Almaráz Cuellar, RETO also received Quota Buster and Double Digit Growth awards.
