TYM Achieves Gold Level Recognition from NAEDA
In a remarkable achievement, TYM North America recently received the esteemed Gold Level Award from the North American Equipment Dealers Association (NAEDA). This accolade is not merely a trophy; it symbolizes TYM's dedication to excellence in dealer satisfaction, with survey results surpassing the industry average by a notable margin of at least 10 percent. This year, TYM proudly secured first place in overall satisfaction among tractor manufacturers for the second consecutive year.
The significance of the achievement is underscored by TYM's top ranking in several critical categories that are essential to the success of agricultural dealers, including Product Availability and Marketing and Advertising Support. TYM demonstrated its prowess by ranking either #1 or #2 in nine out of twelve key performance metrics, including Parts Quality, Return Privileges, and Communication with Management. The survey results highlight the confidence that TYM's dealers across North America place in the brand.
Steve Lee, Vice President of TYM North America, expressed gratitude for this recognition, stating, "We are extremely proud and thankful for our second consecutive 1st place award for Overall Satisfaction.
