SAN ANTONIO – Frost & Sullivan has recognized Manheim with the 2006 Vehicle Remarketing Client Value Enhancement Award for its innovation in technology and focus on providing outstanding customer service.

The award was presented at the Frost & Sullivan 2006 Growth Excellence Awards Banquet, which honored Manheim and a select group of other companies and individuals for demonstrating leadership and executing innovative and successful business strategies in a highly competitive global marketplace.

Specifically, Manheim was honored for its industry leadership in such areas as Web Simulcast Auctions, Online Vehicle Exchange, and manheim.com, enabling customers to participate remotely in any Manheim auction because of a one-stop access approach.
