(Dubuque, IA) – Hodge has been awarded the prestigious MVP (Most Valuable Partner) Award for 2017. This is the third consecutive year that Hodge has earned an MVP Award from the industry’s trade association Material Handling Equipment Distributors Association (MHEDA). Award recipients must satisfy a rigorous set of criteria with less than seven percent of the association’s membership earning the award. As a 2017 MVP, Hodge has successfully demonstrated 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 must satisfy criteria in the areas of: Industry Advocacy, Customer Service & Safety Practices, Business Networking, Continuing Education and Business Best Practices.
In a letter of recommendation for the Award, Danny Sprank of Giese Roofing Company said, “In the last five years, Hodge has provided transporting and servicing of all of our aerial equipment. As a commercial roofing company that works year round, we rely on our lifts to work in all seasons. Hodge has always been able to help with jobsite repairs. They do their best to keep us working out in the field without having to rent additional equipment.”
2016 was a dynamic year for Hodge as they repositioned their former subsidiary companies (Hodge Company, Hodge Material Handling, and TM Logistics) under one new brand (Hodge). The separate companies shared a strategy that has always aimed to offer an integrated suite of service offerings to help manufacturers and supply chains operate more efficiently. The company now aims to do so under the single (Hodge) brand. Hodge is a growing, performance-driven material handling and logistics company providing a breadth of related products and services ranging from: warehousing & distribution design, development and execution to the sales/service of material handling equipment & systems, to a variety of engineered supply chain management and value-added services. The company employs nearly 800 employees across 24 locations and 5 states. For more information please visit www.hodgecompany.com.
