East Penn Manufacturing Co. has earned the prestigious MVS (Most Valuable Supplier) Award for 2017. The MVS Award is granted by the industry's trade association, MHEDA (Material Handling Equipment Distributors Association). This is the second year that East Penn has earned this industry award created to recognize companies who have demonstrated an exemplary commitment to their dealer network, their employees, and their community.
To qualify for the MVS Award, East Penn was required to meet a series of criteria in a number of areas important to the distributor companies who do business with them. In addition to confirming an on-going commitment to safety, MVS Award winners have demonstrated an overall commitment to business excellence by documenting programs in the following areas:

• Industry Advocacy

• Continuing Education
• Business Best Practices

"East Penn is honored to again receive the MVS (Most Valuable Supplier) Award," stated Doug Bouquard, GM and VP of Sales, Motive Power Division.

Bouquard added, "We are proud to share this award with everyone that continues to demonstrate the Deka Difference."
"MHEDA members represent the best of our industry; and those who earn the MVS Award have documented that excellence and commitment to their dealers, community, employees and the material handling industry," said Scott Lee, MHEDA's 2017 Chairman of the Board and President of Schaumburg, IL based Conveyor Solutions, Inc. "MHEDA is very proud of our MVS Award winners."
