CHARLOTTE, N.C.--Carolina Handling has relocated our Charlotte office to a new facility located at 4835 Sirona Drive, Suite 100.

The move will be an upgrade from our previous 31,000 sq. ft. location to a 57,000 sq. ft. facility. This will allow our operation room for growth and additional storage capacity for equipment so we can satisfy customer needs at even quicker rates. The latest technologies available from Raymond and our vendor partners will now be better available to continue to help our customers Run Better and Manage Smarter.

"This is an extremely exciting development for our Charlotte Associates and our customers in the area," said Joe Perkins Vice President, Operations. "Moving to our new facility is a major step in Carolina Handling's ongoing focus of staying forward thinking and maintaining our position as an industry leader."

On top of being a more centralized hub for our customers, the location of the facility was chosen due to its proximity to a range of amenities that will enrich the everyday lives of our Associates.

The facility's new design offers something for everyone as Carolina Handling seeks to focus on our current and future Associates. Ergonomic desks, a lounge, a quiet space, and more will offer a very modern workspace and an environment that fosters collaboration and team building.

On July 25th from 11: 00AM-2: 00PM we will be hosting an Open House for the facility.

For more information about our move, please reach out to Joe Perkins at jperkins@carolinahandling.com.
