The company's construction brand picked up the AEMP's Associate of the Year award at the organization's 33rd Management Conference & Annual Meeting held in Orlando, Fla., this month.
Case was recognized for educating equipment owners and its leadership on infrastructure issues, most notably through its Dire States platform. The award is presented to the AEMP "Associate Member Company, Corporation or Firm, which, through past efforts, has significantly enhanced or promoted AEMP's mission and vision." AEMP represents those that manage and maintain heavy equipment in construction, government, utilities, energy, mining and more.

What began as a tour of equipment dealers to raise awareness of the plight of infrastructure has evolved into a nationwide advocacy initiative with their Dire States campaign. As a visible industry leader, Case spotlights infrastructure issues and success stories. Case's Director of Strategic Accounts, Pat Hunt, accepted the award on behalf of the brand at the AEMP meeting.
