"Bruce has been a big part of Link-Belt's value-added services to our customers and dealers. Link-Belt is well-positioned in the crane industry as a leader in parts, service, training and online information for crane owners. A lot of that success follows his tenure with the company," said Bill Stramer, senior vice-president, marketing, sales and customer support at Link-Belt Cranes.
