Rihm Kenworth received the 2011 Kenworth Medium Duty Dealer of the Year for the U.S. and Canada at the annual Kenworth Dealer Meeting in Columbus, Ohio.

"Over many years our business strategy has been to invest in dedicated, well-trained sales personnel, and to stock trucks and parts inventories so that our dealership becomes the truck dealer of choice in our community," says Kari Rihm, president and CEO of Rihm Kenworth, which has locations in St. Paul, Albert Lea; Sauk Centre, Minn., and Superior, Wis. "This strategy helps us to offer customers a high level of quality support for their medium duty truck operations."

Rihm Kenworth nearly tripled its medium duty trucks sales last year. "As one of the oldest, continuously operated dealerships in the Kenworth dealer network, Rihm Kenworth is truly one of The World's Best," says Gary Moore, Kenworth general manager and Paccar vice president.
