MH Equipment’s Evansville, Ind., branch has relocated to a new facility, the company said. The new building is open for business and will be hosting an open house and ribbon cutting this fall.
“By living out our value statements, we have experienced tremendous growth,” said Mike Goebel, president of the south/east region for MH Equipment. “This growth prompted our move to Evansville’s north side where we can continue to excel in the service that allowed us to earn the business of our current customers as a primary consideration. The move, which doubles our previous square footage, will also allow for us to continue growing our rental expansion products like AWP and specialty lifts.”
MH Equipment began in Peoria, Ill., in 1952 as one of the smallest Hyster forklift dealerships but has grown to become one of the largest and fastest growing full-service material handling providers in the United States. MH now has 28 servicing locations in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Missouri, Nebraska, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, and West Virginia.
