LONDON & CAMBRIDGE, ON

On September 26, 2017, members of the Accuride Corporation visited Challenger Headquarters in Cambridge ON, and its Elgin Division Terminal in London, ON, to see the launch of new co-branded trailers. Showcasing both Elgin and Accuride logos, these ten trailers show recognition to the long term business commitments between Elgin (Challenger) and Accuride. Proudly represented side by side on these trailers, these logos further cement the commitment to service, and great standing between these companies. Members of Accuride were invited to have tours of the Elgin Terminal and Challenger Head Office, as well as witness the launch of these new trailers.

The teams at Challenger and Elgin are pleased to feature of one of our longstanding and valued customers through this co-branding initiative, as it further fosters a great working partnership.

Kevin Link, General Manager of Elgin, had this to share: “Elgin is proud to be associated with a customer that shares our commitment to service, and values the true meaning of partnership.  Our relationship has grown since 2002 through being able to communicate and devise solutions to the changes that have arisen.  These co-branded trailers are evidence of our commitment to each other”.

The co-branded trailers visit Accuride Headquarters in Evansville, Indiana.

Brian Bartlett, National Account Director for Challenger, initially brought on Accuride’s business in 2002, and has continued to foster the company relationship. He is very pleased to see the business and partnership develop to the level that is at, saying, “We have offered many services to the business, including dedicated on-site shunting, and trailer loading, and dedicated in-plant dispatch.  We are very pleased of the enhancements we have offered over the years and the attention to detail and on-time service commitments that have been fostered from this.”

On their way to make a delivery for Accuride, the trailers visited Accuride’s Corporate Headquarters in Evansville, Indiana on September 28, 2017.
