Forklift distributor Equipment Depot of Texas (EDT) was among recipients of outstanding business awards from the Greater Waco Chamber of Commerce at a May 21 banquet.

The recognition stemmed from community involvement, including development of Waco's mammoth excavation site, support for the cancer society, sponsorship of the Mid-Tex Farm and Ranch Show and backing efforts of the chamber and the Providence Hospital Foundation.

EDT's business roots extend back to 1975. It now operates 12 forklift and materials handling equipment stores serving 158 counties in Texas, eight counties in southern Oklahoma and two parishes in western Louisiana.

EDT reports to Pon North America, a division within the equipment & power systems group of privately held Pon Holdings BV, of Nijkerk, the Netherlands.
