It goes on to say that the capability, attitude and pride of Champion employees allows the company to boast a daily production rate of 7.5 , graders. In the article, Cham- pion's president, Bruce Sully, says Champion is today the "only true Canadian manufacturer of motor graders and we are considered a pioneer in the grader business even .by our com- petitors."
