Blooming Prairie, MN —Thirty years ago Lorraine Kruckeberg backed her vehicle over a Rubbermaid trash can, inspiring her husband Dick Kruckeberg to invent heavy-duty poly truck fenders. And so it came to be that in 1984, Minimizer was founded on the idea of making nearly indestructible fenders.

“We’ve grown exponentially during the past 30 years,” said Craig Kruckeberg, Minimizer CEO. “We began manufacturing fenders and have expanded into other areas of the aftermarket heavy-duty trucking industry by offering an array of bracket kits, toolboxes, customized floor mats, LED lights, slick disks, decorated mud flaps and now a new maintenance line.”

The company is celebrating its 30^th anniversary with sweepstakes totaling $30,000, which will be given to two Minimizer customers. 

Minimizer’s Director of marketing, Jason Rhoads, commented: “Thirty years of successful product innovation and marketplace growth is a milestone we want to share with the truck operators who made it possible.”

Customers who spend $100 or more on Minimizer products are eligible to be entered into the sweepstakes. The larger the purchase, the more entries the customer receives.

The Sweepstakes runs from August 21 to December 31, 2014.
