Hawthorne Lift System won the 2007 Dealer of the Year Award.

The Mitsubishi Caterpillar Forklifts of America (MCFA) program determines Dealer of the Year based on revenue growth and financial viability.

This program follows the belief that excellence is ultimately seen in results. Five important elements that a dealership must meet are:

• Customer satisfaction

• Equipment sales growth

• Product support sales growth

• Rental fleet utilization

• Profitability

For the second year in a row, Hawthorne Lift Systems has scored the most points of any dealer in North America, thereby achieving the most outstanding results for 2005 and 2006.
