Jim Vandegrift, President of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.findadistributor.com\/item\/rm-materials-handling-inc\/\">R&amp;M<\/a>, describes the two meanings in the release of their brand video. He states, \u201cThe first meaning is an internal meaning of how we continue to strive for innovation, for industry leading customer service, and that\u2019s part of how we separate and differentiate ourselves from our competition. I think the external meaning is providing our distributors with a competitive advantage through the use of our products and sales tools. And I think that helps them Rise Above their competition.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The new logo is being introduced across their product offerings, communications and online resources over the coming months.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>To learn more about how you can Rise Above with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.findadistributor.com\/item\/rm-materials-handling-inc\/\">R&amp;M<\/a>\u2019s vast product offerings visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rmhoist.com\">rmhoist.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>R&amp;M Materials Handling Inc., a manufacturer of manual and electric chain hoists, wire rope hoists, crane components and modular crane packages, recently underwent a very thorough rebranding project.
