Partner (MVP) Award for 2019, based on accomplishments in 2018. This is the fifth
time that Fairchild Equipment has earned an MVP Award from the industry’s trade
association, Material Handling Equipment Distributors Association (MHEDA).
“This is a great accomplishment for our organization. To win the award once takes
hard work and dedication, to win it five consecutive years demonstrates the
consistency of our team,” said Chad Fairchild, Chief Executive Officer for Fairchild
Equipment.
Award recipients must satisfy a rigorous set of criteria with less than 10% of the

successfully demonstrated a commitment to business excellence, professionalism and
good stewardship.

and suppliers. They must satisfy criteria in the following important areas:

• Industry Advocacy

“Being a MHEDA MVP is quite an honor; for one, it places us in an elite-class among
our industry peers, but it also validates our employee’s efforts that exemplify our core
values that are our people, our customers and our solutions,” said Van Clarkson,
Fairchild Equipment President and MHEDA Board Member. Clarkson added, “We have
taken great strides to integrate core values into our business operation that promote
safety, our Customers for Life initiative, community stewardship, work and life balance
or ‘family first’ and creating a culture of accomplishment.”
“MHEDA MVP winners are among an elite group of distributors that have reached a
