Vermeer-Wisconsin has received the Platinum Dealership award for 2007 from Vermeer Corporation. This marks the third consecutive year Vermeer-Wisconsin has earned the highest dealership rating possible from Vermeer Corporation.

The platinum-award standards reflect best business practices in parts, service, sales, marketing, operations management, employee and leadership development, financial management, and market segmentation.

All of a dealer's locations must meet the standards for the dealership to earn the award.

Only seven dealerships worldwide received this award in 2007.

Recently, Vermeer President and CEO Mary Andringa and four members of her executive staff visited two of Vermeer-Wisconsin's three locations while presenting the award.
