Supertrucks Partners and Distributors meet every 2 years and this year the meeting was hosted by Max Klemm GmbH in Bretten
Diedelsheim in Germany, Supertrucks distributors for Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

The meeting coincided with Klemm's "Sommerfest" or hospitality open day. Many customers and friends of the company attended to see the range of facilities and services offered by Klemms. They also got the chance to meet and talk to the people who run the company, and generally enjoy a day of great entertainment.

A very rousing and traditional southern German reception greeted the Supertruck members, played by the famous German umpar band
"Fanfarenzug Bretten 1504", which as their name suggests were founded in Bretten in 1504!
 

Marion Klemm and Jochen Hekele of Max Klemm GmbH welcome all the Supertruck Partners from the UK, Ireland, Belgium and New Zealand.

Supertrucks Chairman Peter Wright rises to the challenge of the stacked beer crates. Despite consuming a quantity of the beer, and coping with sudden gusts of wind, he managed to break the record for the day of ascending 23 crates before crashing out.
