KION North America has expanded the territory of dealer partner Material Handling Inc. (MHI) in central Kentucky and Tennessee.  In addition to a territory expansion, MHI’s existing facility in Knoxville, Tennessee has become an authorised Linde Material Handling and Baoli sales and service location.  

"We are proud to grow our territory with Material Handling Inc. into central Kentucky and Tennessee," says Rick Schiel, director of distribution management. "This organisation has spent many years building its portfolio of exceptional products and services and is known for providing dependable solutions for its customers' materials handling needs. We are eager to see the positive impact of this expansion."

Since 1975, MHI has provided custom materials handling solutions for its customers. By continuously putting its customers first, the dealer has built the reputation as a trusted solutions provider throughout the areas it serves.

"We are excited to represent the full range of Linde Material Handling products to the important Knoxville, Tennessee and central Kentucky markets," says MHI president Mike Sain. 

Family-owned and operated since 1975, MHI is a leading supplier of materials handling and forklift solutions, warehouse products, and repair and maintenance services for North Georgia, Middle Tennessee, Southeast Tennessee and Southern Kentucky. 

MHI has served its markets for more than 30 years with over 80 factory-trained technicians and parts personnel. 

The dealerships have 46 service vans operating daily out of six branch locations in Gainesville and Dalton, GA; Nashville, Knoxville and Chattanooga, TN; and Bowling Green, KY for timely service.
