The Material Handling Equipment Distributors Association Journal Features AHS, Inc. and Cornerstone Specialty Wood Products, LLC
In the most recent edition of the MHEDA Journal Fourth Quarter 2011, companies were asked to submit articles on Sales Successes in 2011.
The first job that came to mind was a job that we did with one of our ResinDek Partners, AHS, Inc. in Cincinnati, Ohio.
We were approached by an end user on a problem they were having with their existing mezzanine floor. Cornerstone Specialty Wood Products (CSWP) automatically called on AHS' expertise to provide the turnkey experience for the end user. Both AHS and CSWP worked through the appropriate solution for the special application for this customer.
You can read the entire article on page 49 of the fourth Quarter 2011 MHEDA Journal or at this link: http://www.themhedajournal.org/index.php/2011/10/what-a-year/#AHS2
At Cornerstone Specialty Wood Products we have a corporate policy not to sell end users direct and we pass all leads onto our ResinDek Partners.
Please contact us if you have a difficult or unusual challenge at one of your jobsites related to elevated flooring systems, because solving difficult engineering problems and addressing special applications are two of the things we do best at Cornerstone Specialty Wood Products.
