Updated Jan 16, 2020

Alta Equipment Company (Alta Equipment) has been named Volvo Construction Equipment North America’s 2018 Dealer of the Year.

The Detroit, Michigan-based company demonstrated outstanding performance over the last year, when it intensified its efforts to improve customers’ experiences and entered a new market, Illinois, reinforcing Volvo CE’s presence in the Midwest, Volvo CE says.

Volvo CE’s Dealer of the Year Award recognizes the dealership in North America that best promotes the Volvo brand and the company’s core strategies: to provide the highest uptime in the industry, offer unique customer solutions and ensure the best value at any stage in a machine’s lifecycle, a press release says.

“We are thrilled to be recognized as the 2018 Volvo Dealer of the Year,” says Rob Chiles, president of Alta Equipment, Construction Group (CE Group).

“Our passion for customer service combined with representing the best brand in the business – Volvo Construction Equipment – enables us to exceed customer expectations while delivering impeccable sales, rentals and customer service.”

Alta Equipment entered the construction equipment business in 2010 to compliment an existing industrial equipment business, and was able to leverage a solid customer base to generate cross-selling opportunities, Volvo CE says.

The company has seen dramatic growth in territory as well as its workforce.
