We're still reflecting on our recent open house where we had several industry associations come out to set up a table, hand out materials on their business, and network with attendees. We are thankful for all of these connections we have and appreciate the time they took time to attend and set up a table to network with others at our open house. 

Yesterday, we posted a recap of our Open House that we hosted at our facility on March 14th. If you weren't able to make it, catch up here to see what you missed. As mentioned in that recap, we intentionally plan our open house to fall a week before the Mid-America Truck Show (MATS) and today we recap the event if you also were not able to attend the show. 

Our 2018 Open House was a few weeks ago on March 14th. We had a great turnout, great food, and got to network with industry experts. This was our fourth annual open house and we greatly appreciate all those who came out despite the frigid temperature! 

Customers, partners, vendors, and many others in the trucking industry were present. We had a display of an Ottawa truck going through an entire refurbishment. Much of the inside was replaced with all new equipment and the cabin got a much-needed update as well with a new driver's seat that was installed.

Louisville Switching's Open House: What You Missed 

Mike Twitty, Kalmar Ottawa Regional Manager for the Southeast U.S., Ryan Sipple, Kalmar Ottawa Area Part Sales, and Scott Binzer, Account Executive at Cummins Sales and Service were present to meet and network with all who came out. Other experts in the industry, like Melissa Zink with the Kentucky Trucking Association, were also there to meet everyone and network as well. 

We have had a great start to 2018 and have recently expanded our incredible team with our newest hire, Larry Thacker, who is bringing a great work ethic and innovativeness to Louisville Switching as a Sales and Leasing Consultant. It will soon be time for our annual open house, which is quickly approaching on March 14th. We are getting excited and you should be too! Below are 3 reasons why we think you need to be there.

One of our favorite things to do at Louisville Switching is to try new restaurants and enjoy the incredible food that's in Louisville. We recently attended a beer dinner at La Chasse and were so blown away by the experience that we wanted to share about the restaurant with an exclusive interview with the restaurant's owner, Isaac Fox. 

In recent weeks, news stations across the nation have filled the air with stories of winter storms wreaking havoc across the northern, eastern, and even southern U.S., and the west coast has been devastated by wildfires, flooding, and mudslides.

At Louisville Switching we strive to provide our clients and industry partners with informative articles touching on a wide range of topics and 2017 was no exception. 2017 brought much exciting success and growth. We had the highest parts sales ever, business is booming, and we have the honor of being named a Kalmar Ottawa Premier Partner Dealer for 2017.
