Dennis Lawrence, Clark Material Handling CEO

US materials handling manufacturer Clark Material Handling Company has announced the recipients of its top parts dealers and dealership awards. Clark has recognised 22 dealerships from across North America for their outstanding sales in parts. To receive the awards, dealerships had to reach parts purchasing targets above their marketing plans or be the top performers in their respective region. The company also announced the recipients of its prestigious top dealership awards. The "Dealer of Excellence" and "Dealer of Distinction" annual awards honour the dedication and accomplishments of Clark's dealers. Dennis Lawrence, president and CEO of Clark, says the teamwork between the company and dealers has never been stronger. "We look forward to another year of market share gain and development of a strong, prosperous dealer network." Greg Hydes, vice president of parts operations for Clark, says even with a difficult economy, the company has experienced solid growth in 2008. "The dealers' accomplishments will be celebrated with all recipients and a guest receiving a five-day, all-expenses-paid cruise," he adds.
