RAYMOND PROVIDES SUPPORT TO MORE THAN 150 NONPROFIT AND EDUCATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS IN 2018

GREENE, N.Y., December 17, 2018 — In 2018, The Raymond Corporation contributed to over 150 nonprofit and educational organizations with monetary contributions, forklift donations and voluntary participation. From food donations to the local area food pantry close to its headquarters in Greene, N.Y., to supporting causes ranging from cancer awareness, veterans rehabilitation and animal rescue, Raymond and its employees recognize that nonprofit support sustains communities.

In addition, Raymond aids technology advancement by supporting education and programs that fuel the future workforce. Raymond continually collaborates with high schools, trade schools, colleges and universities to promote learning and development across a number of disciplines and invites these students into its facilities for learning experiences and tours. Its annual National Manufacturing Day event, held every October, supports students across the southern tier of New York high schools providing hands-on activities and reinforcing manufacturing as a viable future career.

"Every year, it continues to be important for Raymond to support causes that directly impact the needs of our surrounding communities," says Steve VanNostrand, executive vice president of human resources at Raymond. "We are grateful to have such a strong network of Sales & Service Centers that continue our mission, providing support in their communities across North America."
