Strick Trailers recently recognized American Body Company (ABCO) Fleet Services as its 2025 Dealer of the Year, marking the second time the company has earned this prestigious recognition in just three years. ABCO previously earned the honor in 2023 and received this most recent award in early May.

ABCO, owned by Bob Pape (pictured right, below), has been a trusted Strick Trailers dealer for approximately 13 years. Under Pape’s leadership, ABCO has built a strong reputation for delivering high-quality trailer solutions with a focus on customer-specific needs. ABCO specializes in supplying trailers to the beverage industry, where precision, customization and reliability are critical.

 Steve Burns, CEO of Strick Trailers, commended ABCO’s ability to stand out among dealers and emphasized the power of its customer-driven approach. “They have developed a trailer specification niche, and their customization services are tailored to each customer,” said Burns. Burns also highlighted the company’s commitment to long-term customer value, adding, “They deliver high quality products with zero defects.”

The ABCO and Strick Trailers partnership continues to thrive. Sam Moeller, Strick Customer Service Team Coordinator and Sales Representative for ABCO (pictured left, above), highlighted the strengths of the collaboration, including aligned values and a shared commitment to excellence.

“ABCO does business the same way Strick does. They strive for a level of quality that is second to none, they focus on their customers’ needs and provide them with the best possible solutions,” shared Moeller. He added, “The entire Strick team congratulates ABCO on this well-deserved honor and we look forward to continued success together.”

Strick Trailers’ Dealer of the Year is selected annually and determined by gross sales revenue across a calendar year.
