Victor, NY based manufacturing company receives seldom-presented Platinum Award in Team Excellence for their Destuff-itTM Portable Ergonomic Conveyor Implementation Project

Gorbel®, a provider of cranes and ergonomic lifting solutions in the material handling industry, has announced that it has been honored with a Platinum Award in Team Excellence from the Greater Rochester Quality Council (GRQC) at their annual Performance Excellence Awards at the Locust Hill Country Club in Pittsford on October 11.

The mission of the GRQC and purpose of this event is to celebrate local organizations that have demonstrated outstanding performance and continuous improvement. Awards are divided into three categories: gold, silver, and bronze. On rare occasions, a platinum award is granted to organizations that exceed the stringent criteria set forth by the GRQC.

Gorbel® received this award in recognition of the Destuff-itTM Implementation Project, which involved acquiring the Canadian conveyor system and bringing it to production in the United States during the COVID-19 pandemic. This project was completed in just six months and was meant to sustain the company through a period of economic uncertainty.
