UniCarriers names President's Award winner
Chicago, IL. United States

UniCarriers Americas Corporation (UCA) has named Vegusa Maquinaria of Aguascalientes, Mexico as its President's Award winner.
UCA recently honoured its top 10 dealers with the first-ever UniCarriers Americas' President's Club Award Dinner, which replaced the Nissan Nine. As part of the celebration, UCA selected Vegusa Maquinaria as its stand-out dealer. To earn this prestigious award, a dealership must excel in many areas, including new equipment sales, parts sales, marketshare and service excellence. The dealer must also possess the characteristics of UCA's Never Quit attitude, always going the extra mile and accepting any and all challenges.
This is the first time in 26 years that the award was presented to a dealer in Latin America.

Hyster
Hyster is a world-leading provider of forklift trucks and services in the materials handling industry.

It’s the year 2000. You’re in front of a boxy beige desktop waiting for the screeching ramblings of your dial-up to reach its finale. You go to Yahoo!, MSN, or maybe AOL, and start the mind-numbing process of finding your very specific needle in the digital haystack. And with web pages loading one image at a time, patience isn’t just a virtue – it’s a requirement!

As clumsy as this early iteration seems now, this technology was the great enabler that allowed Forkliftaction to connect to the industry across the globe.
