Mitsubishi Fuso Truck of America, Inc. (MFTA), Logan Township, NJ, has announced its 2012 North American Dealer of the Year awards. Each year, MFTA recognizes its most outstanding dealers in the U.S. and Canada for overall performance, sales, parts sales, and service performance. The company also honors the dealer salesperson of the year.

“These awards aren’t just about numbers,” explains Todd Bloom, MFTA President and CEO. “They are based on an evaluation of each dealer’s performance in a number of categories.” In 2012, we found ourselves still facing a weak economic recovery, with only slowly improving product demand. Yet these dealers found a way not only to compete and survive, but also to improve their business and their contribution to MFTA’s success.”

North American Dealer of the Year — Messina Truck Center, Tampa, FL
