Thirty-nine materials handling distributors have been awarded the prestigious MVP (Most Valuable Partner) Award for 2016 by the industry's trade association, MHEDA (Material Handling Equipment Distributors Association).

MHEDA uses the award to recognise "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 are judged on industry advocacy, customer service and safety practices, business networking, continuing education and business best practices.

"MHEDA members represent the best of our industry; and those who earn the MVP Award have documented that excellence and commitment to their customers, employees and the material handling industry," says Scott Lee, MHEDA's 2016 chairman and president of Container Solutions in Schaumburg, Illinois. "MHEDA is very proud of our MVP Award winners."
