Liebherr USA Co.’s Construction Equipment division is the 2020 recipient of the Associated Equipment Distributors (AED) Foundation Partner Award. First presented in 2017, the award recognizes the distinguished service of a manufacturer or service provider that has offered significant contributions to the professional education goals of the foundation.
AED Foundation leaders said Liebherr’s strong support for the organization’s fundraising gala, which included donating a European vacation package to the live auction, allows the group to grow and support the industry through efforts such as addressing the industry’s skills gap and technician shortage. Liebherr has been a member of AED since 1972.
“Liebherr has always been a strong partner of the AED Foundation and we thank them for their generous support,” said Jason Blake, executive vice president and COO of the AED Foundation.
Based in Newport News, Va., Liebherr USA is celebrating 50 years as a leading provider of construction equipment and other technically advanced and user-oriented products and services in North America. Liebherr’s relationship with customers and business partners and industry leaders, such as the AED Foundation, position the company to be united by success.
“We are very honored to receive this prestigious award,” said Peter Mayr, Liebherr USA managing director. “Our support is an investment into the industry, which will ultimately benefit manufacturers and dealers.”
