“We are honored to receive the Onyx Circle Award once again. This recognition reflects our team’s relentless dedication to both innovation and service, demonstrating our commitment to the success of our customers.” – Jordan Papé, CEO of The Papé Group.
The Onyx Circle Award, created by John Deere in 2011, highlights John Deere's top Construction and Forestry dealers, recognizing five dealers for their commitment to excellence in servicing John Deere customers.

These investments reflect our ongoing dedication to supporting our customers' success.
