OREANDA-NEWS. August 17, 2012. GE Capital, Commercial Distribution Finance (CDF) today announced its participation in this year’s North American Trailer Dealers Association (NATDA) annual trade show and convention, which will be held Sept. 6-8 in St. Louis, MO.

“CDF has been supporting the trailer industry for more than 25 years,” said David Wilson, commercial leader of CDF’s Diversified Products Group. “Today, we provide financing programs to nearly 80 manufacturers in the U.S. and Canada.

NATDA president Andrew Ackerman noted that an estimated USD 9 million in orders were written at the 2011 show. With nearly double last year’s number of manufacturers participating this year and more than double the number of dealers expected to attend, NATDA is projecting sales during the show will top USD 18 million.

"We’ve successfully developed this annual event into a buying show,” Ackerman said. “With specials being offered by almost every exhibiting company, dealers have incredible buying options. Cash discounts, freight allowances and free floor plan programs have made St. Louis the place to be in 2012. And for those who aren’t ready to buy, it’s a great way to see next year’s models.”
