Carolina Handling has been named a Dealer of Distinction by The Raymond Corporation for a 30th consecutive year.

“Our industry and technologies have changed quite a bit in the past 30 years, but one thing that has not changed is the commitment and innovative work by our Carolina Handling Associates to serve our customers and communities,” said Brent Hillabrand, President and CEO of Carolina Handling.

Raymond, the parent company of Carolina Handling, is considered the industry’s most experienced and trusted material handling network. The Dealer of Distinction award is presented for exceeding benchmark standards in sales, customer service and retention, in addition to the dealer's own market share performance.

The Dealer of Distinction Award is the latest in a series of recent recognitions for Carolina Handling.

The Southeast’s market leader in developing and implementing material handling solutions, the company was named as one of Business North Carolina’s Top 125 Private Companies in September 2020.

Carolina Handling was also recently awarded the 2021 Most Valuable Partner Award by the industry’s trade association, the Materials Handling Equipment Distributors Association (MHEDA), an award presented to less than 10 percent of the association’s members.

The Charlotte-based company operates centers in Greensboro, Raleigh and Charlotte, N. C., with additional centers in Atlanta, Birmingham and Greenville, S.C, and an Equipment Distribution Center in Piedmont, S.C.
