Earlier this spring, Papé Material Handling was awarded with the Dealer of the Year award for 2022 by Combilift. We received this award during the annual ProMat event held at the Drake Hotel in Chicago, Illinois.

Meet Combilift

Combilift is known for its multi-directional forklifts and specific application solutions. They offer industry-leading solutions for a wide range of floor plans and applications, carrying a robust line of heavy-duty forklifts, pedestrian stackers, sideloaders, and other warehousing and construction equipment. We’re honored to partner with an industry leader like Combilift, as our missions and visions are very aligned. 

A Double Anniversary

Combilift gave us the Dealer of the Year award during their 25th company anniversary which coincided with our 85th anniversary. This award serves as a great celebration of the two companies’ combined knowledge and expertise.

“Congratulations to all at Papé Material Handling on your North America Dealer of the Year 2022 award,” said Anthony Rooney, Combilift Sales Director for Ireland, UK, and North America. “I would also like to extend a warm thank you for making our 25 year celebrations so special. We are extremely grateful for the continuous support from Papé Material Handling. We were delighted the Papé Material Handling team could join us to help celebrate 25 years of lifting innovation.” 

The Honor is Ours

We were so moved to be able to celebrate our combined knowledge and expertise with Combilift, and are proud to partner with such an innovative, hardworking, and successful company that is committed to providing customers with exceptional service and equipment.

“This award is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our entire team, who consistently strive to provide our customers with the best solutions for their material handling needs,” said Chris Wetle, President of Papé Material Handling. “We are proud to partner with Combilift, whose innovative line of heavy-duty forklifts and other equipment perfectly complement our offerings. We look forward to continuing this successful partnership and providing our customers with the highest level of service and expertise for many years to come.”

Work with Us

We are thrilled to accept this incredible award from Combilift, and look forward to expanding our partnerships throughout the West. For 85 years, we’ve worked to maximize customers’ uptime through top-quality equipment, convenient maintenance service, and the best customer service. As the leading supplier of construction, logging, material handling, landscaping, trenching, and farm equipment, as well as semi-trucks and warehouse products, Papé and Papé Material Handling provide customers with successful end-to-end solutions by creating long standing working partnerships that feel more like family than business.
