10 Industry Focus Minnesota Business magazine has selected Minimizer as a fi nalist for its 2016 Manufacturing Awards. Minimizer is one of three fi nalists for the Best in Class — Midsize Company category. Each year, Minnesota Business recognizes the manufacturing sector for outstanding achievements. The vital, though often behind-the-scenes industry and its leaders, represents a signifi cant indicator of economic health, the magazine says. The panel of judges chose the fi nalists from an outstanding pool of manufacturing companies and executives, the largest group of appli- cants ever. "The success story of Minimizer has been built on our commitment to fam- ily and community and every member of our team that continues to lead this company. I'm really proud of our employees that guide us towards success with our products, our distributors and throughout the trucking industry," says Craig Kruckeberg, CEO and chief visionary at Minimizer. T R U C K P A R T S & S E R V I C E | O c t o b e r 2 0 1 6 Minimizer Nabs Manufacturing Accolade MAHLE Updating Gasket Packaging MAHLE Aftermarket Inc., says its gasket product line will now be packaged with the distinctive blue MAHLE Original logo prominently displayed. The transi- tion to the new packaging will begin in the second half of 2016, and will be completed by March of 2017. This news comes not long after the company announced its new brand name for the gasket line would be MAHLE Original gaskets; these will be the same products they sold in North America since 2007 under the Vic- tor Reinz brand licensed to MAHLE Aftermarket. MAHLE says the Original gasket packaging makes it easy for the purchaser to see exactly what they are buying, allowing the customer to see the contents without opening the pack- age. This also helps avoid purchasing the wrong parts and helps to reduce returns of opened boxes to the store, the company says.
