Towers from every state come to Baltimore each year to be honored for their professionalism and efficiency as well as their heroism.
The ACE Awards, sponsored by leading motor clubs, is an AT Expo institution where towers receive honors for their on-time record and other efficiency benchmarks.
Putting One’s life in jeopardy in the line of duty is not often thought of when one mentions a tower, but the Towman Medal ceremony at Festival Night pays homage to those who risk their own lives to save another.
The Order of Towman, established in 2007, cites towing professionals whose work in their home communities earn them nominations from their local police chiefs.

We participated in the 2008 American Towman Expo in Baltimore. We thought there was a larger turnout this year than 2007 – our guess would have been 20-30% more people on Saturday. We felt it was a good show and we were able to talk with many people. We obtained several leads which we have resulted in orders.”
Jeff Newel, American Eagle Accessories

“We here at WreckMaster had a great time at the show. Sales were great, the best in years. We were able to talk to a lot of new customers, owners & managers about our Training.” Ken Cruse, WreckMaster
“The 2008 American Towman Expo was great. Before attending the show, we did not know what to expect with the difficult economic issues facing our industry. We were pleasantly surprised at not only the number of attendees, but the high quality of attendees. We were able to introduce new products and got great feedback from the towing community. We were able to meet many of our current customers and establish new ones as well. The after-hours events were great for networking and were all well attended. The show was one of the best shows we attended all year.” Michael Scantland, Phoenix USA, Inc. |

“With today’s uncertain economics, we are watching our expenses very carefully. That’s why we continue to exhibit at the American Towman Exposition. The number and quality of attendees, combined with the overall value of our investment in the show, means that our marketing dollars are working smarter. Now more than ever, working smarter – not harder, is crucial to success.” Jim Allen, Happy Feet
“AT Expo this year was the best show we’ve experienced so far. We generated more orders at the show than at any other show, this year or in the past. We have already made plans to return in 2009 and hope to even increase our presence.” Andy Wash, Towing.com |
