PORTLAND, OR – Cascade Corporation has earned the prestigious MVS (Most Valuable Supplier) Award for achievements in 2018.  The MVS Award is granted by the industry’s trade association, MHEDA (Material Handling Equipment Distributors Association) to less than 10% of all member companies.   This is the fourth consecutive year that Cascade has earned the MVS Award.  This industry Award recognizes companies who have demonstrated an exemplary commitment to their dealer network, their employees and their community. 

 

To qualify for the MVS Award, Cascade was required to meet a series of criteria in a number of areas important to the distributor companies who do business with them.  In addition to confirming an on-going commitment to safety and documenting a program that “gives back,” MVS Award winners have demonstrated an overall commitment to business excellence by documenting programs in the following areas: 

• Industry Advocacy
• Distributor Advocacy
• Business Networking
• Continuing Education
• Business Best Practices

"At Cascade, we are committed to enure the highest quality products and complete customer satisfaction, while continuing to empower our employees and make a positive impact on our community. It is an honor to be recognized by MHEDA for these commitments and we are proud to receive their Most Valuable Supplier award for the 4th consecutive year," said Pete Drake, Senior Vice President - Operations Americas.
