DESHLER, Neb. — Reinke Manufacturing, Inc. president, Bob Friehe, was recently elected to the 2005-2006 Truck Trailer Manufacturers Association (TTMA) board of directors during the 63rd Annual TTMA Convention.

Friehe, who has served as the president of Reinke for more than six years, will join 15 other board members from across the U.S. and Canada representing TTMA for the upcoming year.

“On behalf of the Truck Trailer Manufacturers Association we welcome all of the newly appointed officers and directors,” said Richard Bowling, TTMA president. “Each committee member represents a broad cross section of our membership, which spans the entire industry.”

“It’s an honour to be elected to the Truck Trailer Manufacturers Association board of directors, as well as in the company of so many influential individuals in our industry,” said Friehe. “I find it gratifying for myself and for Reinke to be recognized by our peers, as the production of flatbed and dropdeck trailers, and intermodal container chassis are a vital part of our business.”
