Mayor’s Statement on Trailtech Inc. Leadership Announcement

Keith Brown is more than the founder of Trailtech — he is a pillar of our community. Through his vision, determination, and entrepreneurial spirit, Trailtech grew from a small operation into one of North America’s leading trailer manufacturers. His commitment to excellence helped put Gravelbourg on the map, creating jobs, attracting talent, and strengthening our local economy for nearly four decades.

 

But Keith’s contributions extend far beyond the walls of Trailtech. He has been a generous and thoughtful community builder whose impact can be seen throughout our town. Most recently, Keith’s and wife Rosemarie’s remarkable gift — the purchase of a home to support our physician recruitment efforts at St. Joseph’s Hospital — is yet another example of his enduring dedication to the well-being of Gravelbourg residents. That act of generosity will help ensure our community has access to the healthcare it deserves, now and into the future.

 

To Mike Heschel, congratulations on your appointment as CEO. Your experience and leadership make you well-suited to take the reins and guide Trailtech through its next chapter. And congratulations as well to Greg Freeman and Ryan Miller on their well-earned promotions — your growth is a testament to Trailtech’s commitment to developing its people and investing in local success.

 

Trailtech continues to be one of Gravelbourg’s most valued institutions, and as mayor, I look forward to supporting its continued growth and celebrating the positive impact it brings to our community.

 

With deep appreciation,

Matt Forest 

Mayor, Town of Gravelbourg
