Pace Industries in Maple Lake recently accepted a Supplier of the Year Award from long-time business partner Ag Leader Technology of Ames, Iowa.
The award is given annually by Ag Leader to the supplier that goes above and beyond to serve the company’s needs. In 2023, Ag Leader had an incident where they saw failure in some components. The Pace team dug deep to find the cause, knowing how critical it was to the company to solve the issue and get the product out to the customer, said Scott Wilcox, vice president of manufacturing at Ag Leader. Ag Leader representatives paid the Pace team a visit Tuesday, June 18 at their headquarters in Maple Lake to present the award. Afterwards they enjoyed a meal catered by The Butchery of Maple Lake.
“We are very honored here at Pace to receive this award,” said Pace Engineering Manager Jake Cihlar. “We love working with Ag Leader and love to continue our partnership. A special thank you to our Pace team for making this happen.”
