Titan Machinery’s Journey to a ‘Fully Absorbed Culture’

Brad Meyer, director of service operations for Titan Machinery, highlights the impactful steps the 69 store Case IH dealership group has taken over the last decade to transform absorption from a metric into a deeply ingrained culture. This culture is built on the integration of robust business performance and Titan's unwavering commitment to customer care. Every year since 2007, Titan has increased its absorption a few points until in 2023, when the Case IH dealership group finally reached 100% absorption across all of its North American segment. Due to high floorplan expenses, the group dropped back into the low 90s in 2024, but Meyer shares the steps the organization is taking to get back up to 100% again for 2025.

You'll Learn: Small steps to take that can add up to steady improvements in your dealership's absorption journey.

Video: Finding a Balance of Innovation and Regulation - Dr. Peter Facchini

Regulations help markets and industry exist on level playing fields, keeping consumers safe and innovation from going too far. However, incredibly strict regulations can stunt innovation and cause entire industries to wither away. Dr. Peter James Facchini brings his perspective on how existing regulations have slowed the advancement of medical developments within Canada. Given the international concern of opium poppy’s illicit potential, Health Canada must abide by this global policy. But with modern technology pushing the development of many pharmaceuticals to being grown via fermentation, is it time to reconsider the rules?

Dr. Peter James Facchini leads research into the metabolic biochemistry in opium poppy at the University of Calgary. For more than 30 years, his work has contributed to the increased availability of benzylisoquinoline alkaloid biosynthetic genes to assist in the creation of morphine for pharmaceutical use. Dr. Facchini completed his B.Sc. and Ph.D. in Biological Sciences at the University of Toronto before completing Postdoctoral Fellowships in Biochemistry at the University of Kentucky in 1992 & Université de Montréal in 1995.
