About Associated: Material Handling Solutions That Impact Your Bottom Line

About Associated-Allied

Our consultative approach is designed to meet customer needs. And we constantly differentiate ourselves by expanding traditional approaches to develop creative, tailor-made solutions to meet unique customer requirements.

For over 50 years, Associated's mission has been to provide innovative and flexible solutions that create sustainable value for the transport, storage and retrieval of all the materials in our customers’ supply chain. By applying our experience and innovative engineering skills to every application, we will increase the efficiency of your operation.

To consistently satisfy our diversified customer base in Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota and the Dakotas, we have personnel and facilities strategically located throughout the region. We offer a wide range of material handling products and services to meet our clients' growing and diversified needs, because as their requirements increase, so do ours. And to continuously do that in the most effective way, we operate 6 fully-staffed locations, including our headquarters in Addison, IL and branch offices in Peoria, IL, Ankeny, IA, Eagan, MN and two locations in Indiana — Ft. Wayne and Indianapolis.

Our extensive experience has taught us that total customer satisfaction is the only acceptable outcome in each and every transaction, and it is our goal to ensure that our organization provides that level of service. Every time.

A long-standing member of MHEDA

As part of our steadfast dedication to our customers, we maintain an ongoing membership in the Material Handling Equipment Distributors Association. MHEDA is recognized as the only national trade association dedicated solely to improving the proficiency of the independent material handling equipment distributor. We set very high standards for ourselves, and our customers have come to expect the same.

Structured to meet customer needs

Whatever your application – from high lift or wire guidance, to picking and shipping - our industry leading parts, sales and service departments, will work with you to find the right solutions. The entire Associated organization is structured to meet your needs.

We also understand building long-term customer relationships far outweighs any short-term considerations. If at any time a customer is less than satisfied with any aspect of their relationship with Associated, we’ll do everything within our power to make it right. This is the core of our success and a primary belief practiced by each and every member of our team.

We look forward to the opportunity to serve you, and we hope we’ll be able to add your name to our long list of satisfied clients.
