Manheim Kansas City Earns Top National Honors; Total of Nine Locations Recognized for Best-in-Class Performance

Manheim sites across the country were honored by Element Fleet Management for best-in-class performance at the 17^th annual Remarketing by Element Awards held earlier this month 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.”
