KION North America Corporation recently awarded top dealers based on 2018 performance at its 2019 Dealer Meeting in Charleston, South Carolina. The 2019 Dealer Meeting gave dealers the opportunity to be the first in the industry to see the new full line of warehouse equipment that Linde Material Handling will release in North America. The public will be introduced to these new products next month at ProMat in Chicago, IL. The warehouse line can be viewed in booth S2403 and the KION North America and Dematic Mobile Automation partnership can be viewed in booth S2603.

The top honour, the President's Award, was awarded to Bravo Montacargas for achieving the highest total combined sales of lift trucks and parts.
