March 2, 2026

PEORIA, IL -- MH Equipment, a recognized leader in the material handling industry, has been awarded the prestigious MVP (Most Valuable Partner) Award by the Material Handling Equipment Distributors Association (MHEDA) for its outstanding achievements in 2025. This achievement marks the 13th consecutive year that MH Equipment has achieved the award.   

The MVP Award is a coveted accolade within the industry, with fewer than 10% of MHEDA's member organizations earning this distinction. MH Equipment’s continued recognition as an MVP within the industry underscores their commitment to excellence, professionalism and responsible stewardship in the business world. 

“We are honored to be recognized by MHEDA, an organization that sets the standard for our industry,” said Woody Hartwell, president of sales & marketing. “At MH, our goal has always been to serve as a trusted resource for the material handling industry. This award validates the expertise and reliability our team and suppliers bring to the table every day, ensuring our customers always have the solutions they need to succeed.” 

To qualify for the annual MVP Award, companies must provide evidence of their commitment to their partners in business, including their customers, employees and suppliers. They must satisfy certain criteria in the following important areas:  

  • Industry Advocacy 
  • Customer Service & Safety Practices 
  • Business Networking                                          
  • Continuing Education 
  • Business Best Practices  

"Earning MHEDA's highest honor, the MVP Award is a significant achievement that speaks directly to a company's genuine dedication,” said Darin Boik, Advanced Equipment Company president and 2026 MHEDA chairman.
