Emkay was awarded a Grand Stevie Award in The 11th Annual American Business Awards Monday night with the event focused on the technology and new product awards categories.

In this year's two American Business Awards events, Emkay was honored with two Gold, three Silver, and three Bronze Stevies.

Emkay recently pumped up their remarketing program by infusing modern technology and Emkay’s service approach to develop the Emkay Select Mobile app - revolutionizing the remarketing industry. In addition, Emkay launched the industry’s first web-based maintenance portal. These innovations along with Emkay’s exemplary customer service earned Emkay top honors and one of only ten Grand Stevies awarded in the entire country.
