Donlen recently announced the recipients of its 2016 Top Auction Awards, according to a company announcement. Manheim Mississippi took home top honors as the recipient of the Auction of the Year award, however, seven other auctions also received awards.  

“Donlen is fortunate to have so many strong auction partners. The decision to honor a select group was difficult, in that all are such integral contributors to our success,” said Dan Powers, Donlen director of vehicle remarketing. “We applaud and congratulate our award winners and look forward to another year of providing best-in-class remarketing support to fleets.”
