For Almost 60 Years
Carolina Handling started out in a former gas station with just five Associates way back in 1966. Since then we've grown into a multi-million dollar business employing over 800 associates, and in all the time we haven't lost sight of what has gotten us to this point: Helping our customers to Run Better and Manage Smarter.
