Despite the challenges of the pandemic, Cisco-Eagle wins the warehouse, logistics, material handling industry honor

Steel King Industries®, a manufacturer of storage rack and material handling products, announces that Cisco-Eagle Incorporated, a material handling systems and equipment provider, has won their Most Valuable Dealer Award for 2020 activity. To earn this honor in 2020 is particularly impressive, due to the challenges brought on by the worldwide pandemic.

Cisco-Eagle, with partner locations in Texas (Dallas, Houston, San Antonio), Oklahoma (Tulsa, Oklahoma City), and Arkansas (Little Rock), enjoys elite status as a Steel King Excalibur dealer located in Tennessee (Nashville).

The MVD award was launched in 1996 by Steel King to recognize the achievement of top channel partners in the warehouse, logistics, material handling, and facility management industry.  A variety of factors were considered in determining the MVD, including the achievement of sales and marketing action items.
