Seegrid Chief Administrative Officer Shares Pride in Manufacturer of the Year

Pittsburgh, PA -- (SBWire) -- 12/13/2013 --Seegrid, manufacturer of vision-guided automated vehicles for the material handling industry, was just given the 2013 Manufacturer of the Year Award from the Pittsburgh Business Times. Justine Coyne, writer for the Pittsburgh Business Times reported, “Seegrid, which manufactures automated vision-guided pallet trucks, tow tractors and walkie stackers (pedestrian walk-behind stackers), has 68 employees, but is rapidly expanding both its head count and its physical plant location. In 2013, the company’s workforce increased by more than 10 percent, and it expects hiring to continue strong through 2020.”

David Heilman, Chief Administrative Officer for Seegrid, said as the company continues to grow, what is going to be important is maintaining its startup mentality. Heilman noted, “We started as a small company and have always had a very entrepreneurial way of thinking and innovating. Going forward, as we grow, we are committed to that sense of camaraderie, no matter what it takes."

Seegrid has experienced a 350% year-over-year sales increase of its robotic industrial trucks. Even stronger growth is anticipated in 2014 as the company embarks on international sales in Europe and the Middle East.
