Toyota Materials Handling USA Inc, the maker of the top-quality Toyota Forklifts, recently was presented with the prestigious Most Valuable Supplier (MVS) Award for 2018 by the Material Handling Equipment Distributor’s Association (MHEDA).

Giving Back to Its Dealer Network

In presenting the award, the MHEDA recognized Toyota for the relationships it has built with its dealers, especially the company’s commitment to safety and documenting through a program that “gives back” in the areas of industry advocacy, distributor advocacy, business networking, continuing education, and business best practices.

Buddy Smith, MHEDA chairman, said Toyota stood out among all the other forklift producers in valuing its dealer network, as well as its customers.

“MHEDA’s MVS winners represent a commitment to excellence in managing their businesses and in providing outstanding support to the distributor,” Smith said in a Toyota news release. “MHEDA is proud of all the MVS winners.”

Last year, Toyota Material Handling USA celebrated its 50th year of producing the best forklifts and other industrial vehicles in the business. To celebrate, the company invited its dealer network to its corporate headquarters for a special party, the centerpiece of which was a special gold-plated forklift that rolled off the assembly line to a round of cheers.

The company currently is the top forklift producer in the US, Canada, and Mexico.
