Birmingham, Ala. — McSweeney Designs, a fully approved MasterUpfitter for Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, recently announced the expansion of its preferred dealer base to include Telin Transportation Group based out of Lakeville, Minn.

Kevin Kropf, eastern region sales manager for McSweeney Designs, who took the lead on orchestrating the dealer agreement stated, “With the combination of McSweeney Designs’ full commitment to delivering the highest possible quality and value throughout our entire product line and Telin’s stellar reputation for providing top-notch customer service before, during, and after the sale, we can’t help but believe that this is an ideally suited match for both of our companies.”

Going forward Telin Transportation Group will be stocking McSweeney Designs products for quick delivery; but will also be able to leverage the strengths of McSweeney Designs’ world class in-house design, engineering, and build teams to assist their clients in the development of custom tailored upfit solutions to uniquely suit their own upscale transportation needs.
