Though popular movie and music awards have come and gone, this awards season is not quite over. Yale Materials Handling Corporation announces the recipients of its 23rd annual Dealer of Excellence Award, recognizing top performing dealers that have exhibited focused leadership and continuous commitment to customers.  

“Our entrepreneurial independent dealer network provides a tremendous competitive advantage, offering the expert knowledge and support to drive customer satisfaction and attract new business,” says Bob Sattler, Vice President of Dealer Business Development. “The Dealer of Excellence Award signifies an exceptional commitment to provide quality service, exceed customer expectations and stand out in an increasingly competitive industry.”

Since 1994, the Dealer of Excellence Program has served as a blueprint for successful Yale® dealers. Recognized dealers must meet a set of constantly updated performance criteria that set rigorous benchmarks to ensure alignment with evolving customer expectations and industry demands.
