Manheim sites across the country were honored by Element Fleet Management for best-in-class performance at the 17th annual Remarketing by Element Awards held in Chicago. Manheim led the field of winners this year, taking nine national and regional awards for outstanding achievements and innovative practices in vehicle remarketing.

“Remarketing by Element appreciates all of our partner auctions and commend those that are the best of the best,” said Paul Seger, vice president, Remarketing by Element. “We congratulate all of our winners, especially Manheim Kansas City for achieving the top honor as Auction of the Year.”

Highlighting the ceremony was Manheim Kansas City winning the Gold Award as the top national auction in Element Fleet Management’s remarketing program. Also honored was Manheim Pennsylvania assistant general manager Amy Taitano, who won the prestigious Laurie Dobberphul Award.
