Local Wright County Mobility Dealer Honored with Award

Online, January 10, 2011 (Newswire.com) - ALBERTVILLE, MN - Cummings Mobility, a leading dealer of BraunAbility accessible wheelchair vans and lift systems, was recently recognized for outstanding sales performance at The Braun Corporation's first national AbilitySummit conference. Cummings led the sales of BraunAbility wheelchair accessible vehicles within Braun's Western Sales Region.

Cummings Mobility has served the disability community in Minnesota, South Dakota, and Wisconsin for 35 years. The family-owned and operated dealership started with one location in Hanover, Minnesota, and today has two locations, in Albertville and Roseville. Owner Doug Cummings operates the business along with four of his seven sons who work in different aspects of day-to-day operations. Cummings Mobility currently employs 27 people and contributes over $400,000 to the local economy each year.

According to Daniel Cummings, who manages the Roseville location, offering customers the highest-quality, most reliable mobility products on the market provides the foundation for the dealership's excellent sales performance and strong customer loyalty. "We have absolute confidence in the products we equip our customers with," says Daniel. "That connection with our customers evolves into a life-long relationship."

Going above-and-beyond is the standard at Cummings Mobility. "To us, having a climate-controlled showroom, 24-hr emergency service, at-home visits, and a complete inventory are all standard. Our customers expect that from us," said Daniel. "We accept nothing short of exceptional service."

Beyond offering BraunAbility wheelchair vans and lift systems, Cummings also offers additional mobility products to address a wide variety of customer needs, including scooter lifts, hand controls, in-vehicle wheelchair safety equipment, and transfer seats. Cummings also offers wheelchair vans for short-term or long-term rental.

Cummings Mobility regularly supports a variety of disability-minded nonprofits, including the MS Society, MDA, ALS Foundation, and Wingspan. Recently the dealership donated a new wheelchair accessible van to Courage Center's driving school, equipped with a wide range of driving aids. The dealership also installs driving aids for local driving schools at no cost.

"Cummings Mobility is a great example of a company that places customer service and satisfaction as their top priority," says Bill Newton, Area Sales Manager for BraunAbility. "We're proud to have Cummings Mobility representing the BraunAbility product line."

About The Braun Corporation

The Braun Corporation is the world's largest manufacturer of wheelchair accessible vans, ramps, and wheelchair lifts worldwide and enables people with physical disabilities to regain mobility and lead active and independent lives. The Indiana-based company was founded by Ralph Braun, who was diagnosed with spinal muscular atrophy at a young age and unable to walk by age 15. Ralph was motivated by his disability to invent the world's first electric scooter (the Tri-Wheeler) and wheelchair lift (the Lift-A-Way) in his parents' garage. Word spread and demand for the product increased, resulting in the birth of Save-A-Step Manufacturing, which ultimately became The Braun Corporation. The company, via the BraunAbility brand, offers the most diverse model lineup in the industry, including the most popular minivan models from Dodge/Chrysler, Honda, and Toyota.
