CHARLOTTE, N.C. (December 15, 2020) – Carolina Handling has been awarded the prestigious MVP (Most Valuable Partner) Award for 2021, based on accomplishments in 2020.  The MVP Award is granted by the industry’s trade association, MHEDA (Material Handling Equipment Distributors Association).   Award recipients must satisfy a rigorous set of criteria with less than 10% of the association’s membership earning the award.   As a 2021 MVP, Carolina Handling has successfully demonstrated a commitment to business excellence, professionalism and good stewardship.

To qualify for the annual MVP Award companies are required to provide evidence of their commitment to their partners in business including their customers, employees and suppliers.  They must satisfy criteria in the following important areas:

• Industry Advocacy
• Customer Service & Safety Practices
• Business Networking
• Continuing Education
• Business Best Practices

“At Carolina Handling, serving our associates, customers, and communities is central to our culture and we are honored to be recognized by MHEDA as one of the industry’s premier providers,” said Brent Hillabrand, President and CEO of Carolina Handling, LLC.

“Both of MHEDA’s Awards, the MVP and MVS, are difficult to achieve without a companywide commitment to excellence in education, networking and community service.  The companies that earn this distinction from MHEDA are the premier materials handling providers in the industry,” said Mike Wall, 2020 MHEDA Chairman of the Board and President of CSI Materials Handling in Westmont, IL.
