ASHEVILLE, NC - Volvo Construction Equipment North America is pleased to announce Volvo dealers Aring Equipment Company, ROMCO Equipment Company, Strongco and The G.W. Van Keppel Company , along with Volvo Construction & Equipment Services are 2011 Regional Rally sponsors of the AEM Construction Challenge on January 15, 2011.
