Bode-Finn changes its name to Hyster MidEast

By Staff -- Modern Materials Handling, 4/1/2000

Bode-Finn, a supplier of industrial and construction equipment and supplies, is now known as Hyster MidEast. The name change is the result of merging two Hyster lift truck dealers, Bode-Finn and Quimby Material Handling, which is also a supplier of materials handling equipment and systems, into a single enterprise. Hyster MidEast is owned by NACCO Materials Handling Group Inc. It serves portions of Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Kentucky, and Indiana.

Hyster MidEast is made up of three divisions: materials handling equipment, materials handling systems, and waste reduction and recycling systems.

"The only thing that' s changed is the name and the resources available to satisfy our customers," says Bob Risheill, general manager of Hyster MidEast.
