STORY
Embracing the
New Normal
MHEDA dealers and suppliers adapt to the
new wants and needs of customers
BY STEVE GUGLIELMO
T
he adage that "time is money" has never been truer than it is today. In an increasingly
hectic world, more and more often customers are looking for a "one stop shop" for their
material handling needs. And so, as MHEDA members always do, we've adjusted to that
new normal. Turnkey is the word of the day and customers feel comfortable knowing
that MHEDA members will not only have the experience and expertise necessary to make a vision
a reality, but also the patience and willingness to work with customers, not simply sell to them.
And that experience and expertise is
backed up with the best products that
the material handling industry has to
offer and the unwavering support of
the OEMs. With a MHEDA dealer and
supplier in their corner, every vision
can become a reality. These 2016 Sales
Success Stories prove once again why
MHEDA members are consistently
recognized as the best of the best. If

grocery stores, including Super One
Foods, U-Save Foods and Woodland
Marketplace Foods stores that comprise
one of the largest independently-owned
grocery chains in the Midwest. When
Miner's Inc. first contacted AK Material
Handling Systems in June of 2014, it
was apparent that the job wouldn't be
a run-of-the-mill project. The distribution center was in the final stages of
their 85,708 square foot addition, and
was going to need brand new racking
for both the addition and the existing
space. As a grocery distribution center,

and wait for their new racking to be
