Canadian distributor Strongco Income Fund was recognized by Volvo Construction Equipment as the North American leader in two categories. VCE recognized Strongco as its largest volume dealer in North America for 2009 and as its largest producer in North America of financing at the retail level.

The awards were announced recently at Volvo’s dealer meeting.

“These awards recognize Strongco’s consistently strong performance during a year that saw the worst economic recession since the 1930s,” said Bob Dryburgh, president and CEO of Strongco. “These results clearly demonstrate the success of our efforts over the past three years to continuously improve our sales organization, enhance our customer support services and expand our retail facilities across Canada. As the economy begins to recover, we expect to be well positioned to take full advantage of the improving market for heavy construction equipment.”

Strongco Income Fund is based in Mississauga, Ontario, and has 27 locations in Canada. Strongco also has a significant rental division and is No. 89 on the RER 100.
