Heli Americas, based in Memphis, Tennessee, was created in 2007 to provide both Material Handling Dealers and their customers with a top quality product. The Heli forklift line is rugged in both design and componentry, without the complex technology (and its associated acquisition and repair costs) that has become all too prevalent in the material handling industry today.

Heli Americas was created by Dobbs Management Services (DMS), a company with a long and successful history managing the manufacturer to dealer relationship. In addition to managing one of the largest Ford automotive dealerships in the world, DMS has also been a world leader in the airline catering industry, and currently manages significant holdings in both the healthcare and beverage distribution businesses with annual revenues of well over $1 billion in 2006.

DMS has retained Bruce Pelynio as President/CEO and partner to direct the growth of Heli Americas. Bruce brings 32 years of experience in the material handling industry with manufactures including Allis Chalmers, Toyota and Yale. His work for Heli Americas is supported by a team of material handling industry veterans, including:

• Tom De Ridder, North Central Regional Marketing Manager (37 years in the industry)
• Mike Mills, Southeast Regional Marketing Manager (30 years in the industry)
• Scott Thomas, Northeast Regional Marketing Manager (35 years in the industry)

Anhui Heli, the manufacturer of the Heli brand of forklifts, also boasts a long tenure of success. A manufacture of material handling equipment since 1958, Heli has positioned itself as the 10th largest manufacturer of forklifts in the world today.

With world class production facilities, all of which are both ISO9001 and ISO14001 as well as CE certified, Heli is positioned to provide a well-designed, solidly built product. And most importantly, Anhui Heli and Heli Americas are committed to providing the best support to our dealers and customers long after the sale process is completed.
